Tesla

As a Mechanical Product Design Engineer for the Tesla-bot program you will be responsible for integration of mechanical and electrical components, consolidating and packaging connectors, harnesses and sensors. You will be on the front line of cutting-edge electromechanical architecture and integration for actuators, sensors, and distribution devices.

• Design start-to-launch electromechanical parts and assemblies including plastics, sheet metal, heat sinks, as well as PCBA, rigid-flex PCBA and FPC MCO’s
• Mechanical integration analysis including thermal, design for assembly, design for test and stack-up
• Closely work cross-functionally with other mechanical, electrical, software, and firmware engineers to generate architectural tradeoffs and generate elegant designs
• Have engineering responsibility across all stages of product development, collaborating with suppliers and internal Tesla teams, overseeing prototyping, and managing RC, Beta, and Pilot builds

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics Engineering or equivalent experience
• 2+ years of relevant experience
• Knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stacks, design for manufacturing/automation/test/reliability (DFM/DFA/DFT/DFR).  Experience with DFMEA and PFMEA
• Basic understanding of electrical design fundamentals, as well as  familiarity with PCBAs and PCBA components
• Strong knowledge of materials, fabrication methods for low- and high-volume
• Analytical background for successful design (tolerance stack-ups, solid mechanics, thermal, cost and mass optimization)
• Passion for electro-mechanical product design and finding simpler solutions to meet requirements
• Ability to present data/trade-offs to facilitate decision-making
• Experience taking projects from concept to production
• Experience with FFC’s, FPC’s, and rigid-flex technologies preferred
