Requirements:
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or Mechatronics or equivalent industry experience
  • Experience shipping consumer-grade products at rates in the millions of units per year (injection molding preferred)
  • Deep knowledge of material science and high-volume manufacturing processes (injection molding, casting preferred)
  • Proficiency in designing parts and assemblies using 3D modeling software (CATIA preferred)
  • Proficiency in drafting engineering drawings and conducting tolerance stack-up analysis (GD&T required)
Benefits:
  • Competitive pay and benefits package
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge robotics projects
  • Collaborative and dynamic work environment
  • Professional development and growth opportunities

At Tesla, we offer a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision plans, as well as 401(k) matching and employee stock purchase plans. We also offer a range of voluntary benefits, including critical illness, hospital indemnity, and pet insurance.

As a Design Engineer at Tesla, you will have the opportunity to work on exciting and challenging projects, collaborate with a talented team of engineers and designers, and contribute to the development of innovative robotics solutions.
