What to Expect

The Product Design Integration team at Tesla is involved from the earliest stages to establish the product architecture and layout with consideration for all product level attributes (styling, cost, mass, manufacturability, performance, service, NVH, reliability, etc.). The team works on all Tesla programs, including Model S, X, 3, Y, Cybertruck, Tesla Semi, Tesla Energy products and future projects.

 The team works with design engineering, styling, and manufacturing teams to develop compatible designs while ensuring product level attributes are optimized. As the design matures, the team builds physical representations of the product to validate key decisions and further refine the design the prior to tooling and manufacture.

What You’ll Do
Mechanical design and packaging of components to meet product and system level requirements while optimizing for product attributes
Lead product integration reviews, mediate trade-off situations to ensure design solutions are aligned with product attribute targets
Lead packaging master section development supporting Class A surface development and product integration feasibility
Support and execute virtual builds, development buck, physical prototypes, and pre-series production
Manage top-level product CAD and BOM, use best practices for ensuring CAD completeness and compatibility, support release process
What You’ll Bring
Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
Experience in vehicle system integration and packaging, must have experience in full product lifecycle from concept through production
Extensive understanding of design principles that support functional vehicle systems design
Knowledgeable in part manufacturing processes from circuit boards to large castings
Outstanding design, packaging, and 3D modeling skills; CATIA experience is an advantage
Proven problem solving and strong communication skills
Flexibility and adaptability in a fast-paced and dynamic work environment
Experience with product lifecycle management tools is an advantage
Passion for electric vehicles and energy efficiency
