1 week ago
The Structural Design team is comprised of passionate engineers who love to solve challenging problems and want to create the best electric vehicles in the world. We support each other on our journey to become better engineers and redefine what people come to expect from transportation. While accelerating the transition to sustainable energy is a challenging opportunity, we surround ourselves with fun and creative teammates to develop technology the world has never seen.
The Battery Engineering team is comprised of various teams, including Structures, Pack, Module, Devices, and Electronics engineering. The unique expertise of our team focuses on the structural design of all vehicles Tesla puts on the road. We design the components that make up the foundation of the battery, enabling the most efficient and safe EVs on the road. While our team focuses heavily on ensuring occupant safety and controlled environments for the battery cells, our responsibility goes far beyond.
Mechanical Design Engineers working out of Palo Alto, CA will be focused on improving designs for the cars of today and defining the designs for the vehicles of tomorrow. The role requires strong engineering/physics fundamentals and the tenacity to apply that to hands-on problem solving. A team player mentality is highly valued, as you are the design representative on the ground collaborating with our factory-based colleagues. Tesla moves quickly, so being self-motivated and disciplined is key to being successful in this role.
