Palo Alto, California, United States Tesla Full time
Job Title: Geartrain Design and Analysis Engineer

As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for designing and analyzing geartrain components and systems to enhance their durability, efficiency, noise performance, cost-effectiveness, and power density. Your expertise will be crucial in developing and implementing innovative solutions to meet our ambitious goals.

Responsibilities:
  • Design and analyze geartrain components, including rotating shafts, gears, differentials, torque-splitting devices, and clutches.
  • Develop component and system-level models to predict geartrain durability, efficiency, noise, mass, and cost.
  • Conduct analysis to inform design trade-offs and make informed geartrain design decisions.
  • Create, develop, and execute component or system-level tests to validate geartrain design and calibrate geartrain models.
  • Leverage geartrain models and analyses to troubleshoot unexpected durability, efficiency, or noise issues identified in drive unit validation tests.
  • Incorporate fleet data into models to evaluate drive units' fleet performance attributes for further design improvements.
  • Implement models parametrically in Tesla's proprietary powertrain cloud simulation tool to inform powertrain architecture decisions for future programs.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams across vehicle modeling, design, manufacturing, and supply chain to deliver and launch optimized drive system designs using data-driven analysis.
Requirements:
  • First-principles physics understanding of engineering disciplines associated with geartrain durability, efficiency, noise, and vibration.
  • Experience with geartrain design and analysis tools like LDP, KissSoft, Romax, Transmission 3D or equivalent.
  • Experience with Matlab, Python, or equivalent programming language.
  • Familiarity with CAE analysis software packages like Ansys, Abaqus, or Hyperwork.
  • Experience in 3D modeling within a product development environment, CATIA preferred.
  • Experience in rotating machinery design, analysis, tests, and failure analysis.
  • Knowledge of gears, bearings, differentials, actuators, clutches, axle disconnect systems, or multi-speed transmissions.
  • Understanding of ANSI Y14.5 Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing and its application to part drawings and function.
Compensation and Benefits:

As a full-time Tesla employee, you will be eligible for a comprehensive benefits package, including competitive pay, health insurance, dental and vision plans, 401(k) with employer match, employee stock purchase plans, and other financial benefits. You will also have access to employee discounts and perks, commuter benefits, and a range of other benefits to support your well-being and career growth.

Expected compensation for this position is $104,000 - $204,000 per year, plus cash and stock awards, and benefits. Pay offered may vary depending on individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
