Mechanical Design Engineer

Electric Vehicle Charging EngineerWe are re-envisioning what electric vehicle charging should look like in a fully autonomous world. Our team is operating at the intersection of vehicle, energy, and AI businesses to conceptualize, architect, design, and launch a revolutionary charging technology to fundamentally reshape the charging landscape and usher in the era of sustainable abundance.In this role, you will work with a small, diverse, dedicated group of engineers to tackle novel problems in a high-visibility setting, where the only limitations are the laws of physics. There are no carryover constraints or prior art – everything you will work on is brand new and brimming with challenge and impact.Your work will span the gamut of mechanical engineering disciplines. On any given day, you will be expected to contribute to and solve multifaceted design problems, leveraging statics and/or dynamics, thermals, mechanics, vibrations, robotics, and advanced manufacturing techniques to develop robust, innovative designs. You will work closely with vehicle engineering, powertrain, supercharger, and autopilot teams to ensure a cohesive, cross-functional product is delivered on time.Strong fundamentals, a first-principles mindset, and the drive to own problems end-to-end are non-negotiable. Roles available at multiple seniority levels, e.g. Sr., Staff, etc.ResponsibilitiesDesign electromechanical assemblies for both vehicle and supercharger product lines, including actuators, thermal solutions, structural enclosures, and electrical interconnectsMechanical design analysis including thermal FEA / CFD, structures, kinematics, statics, and vibrationsCollaborate with a diverse set of stakeholders to forge relationships, drive decisions, and integrate the assemblies you design into vehicle and supercharger architecturesSolve complex packaging challenges that require high-voltage insulation, IP67+ sealing, EMI performance, mechanical shock / loading robustness while maintaining high-volume (1,000s / wk) manufacturabilityOwn the cradle to high-volume manufacturing lifespan of your design / assembly / productDevelop targeted, cohesive test plans and support execution of such tests at a system levelUse CATIA 3DX to 3D model components, integrate systems, and create 2D drawings using GD&TRequirementsDemonstrated technical excellence (portfolio preferred) in mechanical design and analysisStrong mechanical engineering fundamentals and physics-based first-principles problem solvingKnowledge of GD&T, finite element analysis, and design for reliability conceptsExperience with CATIA V5 and/or V6 as well as PLM systems: Engineering changes, deviations, and BOM structuringExperience with analysis tools: MATLAB, Python, ANSYS, StarCCM+Experience with environmental, reliability, safety, and industry standard requirements for automotive, industrial, and infrastructure productsBasic understanding of electrical design fundamentals — high-voltage isolation, power electronics, thermal management, and interconnect design are a plusExperience with high-volume manufacturing and automated assembly processes such as injection molding, stamping, die casting, fastening, dispensing, and joiningFamiliarity with PCBAs and PCBA-level componentsStrong organization, written, and verbal communication skillsCompensation & BenefitsBenefitsAlong with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deductionFamily-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefitsDental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contributionCompany Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSAHealthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefitsCompany paid Basic Life, AD&DShort-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period)Employee Assistance ProgramSick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid HolidaysBack-up childcare and parenting support resourcesVoluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insuranceWeight Loss and Tobacco Cessation ProgramsTesla Babies programCommuter benefitsEmployee discounts and perks programExpected Compensation $109,600 - $195,600/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefitsPay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
