What to Expect

Tesla is in need of Mechanical Engineers to design propulsion motors from concept to volume production, including heavy trucking. Come join the team working on the most important motors in the world. Own making the designs into reality and drive their continuous improvement.

What You’ll Do
3D CAD and 2D drawings for stators, rotors, speed sensing and interconnect assemblies
Driving choices and development in: winding technology, magnet technology, steel stamping and lamination joining, electrical insulation systems, interconnections, thermal sensing. Select the optimum candidates for a given project, not just the newest technology
Identifying and qualifying suppliers of raw materials, components, and assemblies
Design validation and durability testing profile development and data analysis
Carry designs through to high-volume production: DFM, cost reductions, and second sourcing
Mentoring Junior Engineers and Interns
What You’ll Bring
Evidence of exceptional ability
Taken motor designs from clean sheet to volume production
Experience with multiple coil winding and termination technologies
Experience with multiple magnet technologies
Worked with an international supply chain
Automotive design and validation experience
Expected skills: GD&T, 3D CAD, 2D Drawings, DFMEA, PFMEA, structural and thermal FEA
Bonus skills: Catia, NVH analysis, electromagnetics design, specification writing, plastic injection molding, bolted joint design
