Tesla’s Drive Systems Engineering team is looking for an outstanding Mechanical Design Engineer to design, develop, and launch lubrication components and sub-systems for various Tesla Vehicle Drive Units. You will be part of this creative team and be challenged to optimize the lubrication architecture for top-notch performance, cost, and manufacturability. This role will involve designing plastic, elastomer, and casting parts along with developing sub-systems such as electric oil pump, heat exchanger, and oil filter.
As designs mature and prototypes are tested, it is important to maintain a high level of integration with adjacent teams. You will closely work with manufacturing engineers and suppliers worldwide to transition concepts to high-volume production. Projects can be open-ended, and the individual must strive in a challenging environment. Our world-class engineering teams operate with a non-conventional automotive product development philosophy of high interdisciplinary collaboration, flat organizational structure, and technical contribution at all levels. You will be expected to challenge and to be challenged, to create, to innovate. You must want to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial company. We are building real products. This must excite you. You’ll work alongside accomplished, world-renowned Engineers on perhaps the most exciting automotive programs in existence today.
What You’ll Do- Develop requirements for cooling and lubrication components and sub-systems
- 2D drafting and 3D modeling utilizing CAD software, CATIA V5/V6
- Statistical analysis for component stack-up requirements
- Define, coordinate, and execute component and system-level testing for performance, durability, reliability, and process variability
- Manage technical supply base for high-volume manufacturing components to ensure optimal product quality
- Work closely with world-class experts in design, modeling, firmware, electromagnetic, and power electronics, to develop and bring innovative technology to mass production
- Collaborate with service and quality teams worldwide to make the product more reliable providing the best experience to the customer
- Compile, analyze, and document test profiles and results to ensure complete validation of all requirements as programs mature
- Proficiency in 3D modeling and 2D drafting (CATIA V5/V6 preferred)
- Basic understanding and experience with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (fluency preferred)
- Demonstrating technical aptitude from concept through release and launch for production or the equivalent in experience
- Physics-based mentality
- Experience with instrumentation, measurement, calibration, and laboratory testing
- Experience creating and executing DVP&R and DOE to validate performance requirements
- Working knowledge of heat transfer, lubrication techniques, and thermal management is a plus
- Experience with data analysis software (ex. Matlab, Python, etc.) is a plus
- Working knowledge of motors, gearboxes, and low-voltage systems is a plus
