Job Description

What To Expect

Our small team is developing the batteries for the upcoming Tesla Semi. The role requires strong fundamentals, a passion to push the boundaries of technology, and the tenacity to make your designs successful. Our design requirements push the limits of physical possibility, from individual battery cells to integrating battery structure with large-scale heavy duty commercial vehicle architecture, which requires you to be extremely detail oriented and to hold your designs to the highest standards of quality and manufacturability. Our team is small and necessitates a willingness to play a variety of roles and fill gaps as needed. We collaborate with many engineering groups, requiring a team player mentality.

  • Collaboration with other teams inside Tesla (Manufacturing, Testing, NPI, Supply Chain, etc.)
  • Travel to support production launch and ramp (supplier visits, on-site at Tesla factories, etc.)

What You'll Bring

  • Strong engineering fundamentals in heat transfer, fluids, mechanics, and electronics
  • Desire to own a lot and work hard - we have a small team and fast timelines
  • Demonstrated ability to create products: CAD design to hand on prototyping
  • Experience with various manufacturing processes such as plastic injection molding, metal stamping, thermoforming, welding/brazing, plating, heat treating, and bonding. Direct machine shop skills a plus
  • Experience in designing for high volume assembly, both manual and automated
  • Experience defining test plans, designing test setups, and analyzing data
