The Battery Engineering organization is comprised of various teams, including Pack, Module, Structures, Devices, and Electronics engineering. The unique expertise of our team focuses on 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 maintaining controlled environments for the battery cells, our responsibility goes far beyond:

• Blurring the boundaries between Vehicle and Powertrain Engineering
• Integrating seamlessly with both the vehicle and battery cells
• Designing the safest cars in the world
• Pushing the boundaries on how reliable vehicles can be
• Partnering with our manufacturing engineering teams to launch and ramp our product

We are looking for passionate engineers who share our values. Our parts and assemblies are interwoven with the battery and vehicle systems. Therefore, being collaborative in group settings, an ability to solve system integration challenges, and having clear communication are valuable to becoming a successful team member. Some of the notable responsibilities are:

• Full product design responsibility (subsystem ownership) - from concept through production launch and ramp
• 3D design and GD&T drawings of complex parts and assemblies
• Own basic testing & analysis and/or support advanced testing and analysis
• Optimize designs via analytical, numerical, and/or empirical assessments
• Evaluate competing sub-system design approaches using any one of the various development tools (DFMEA, fault tree, decision matrices, etc.)
• Determine root-cause for test failures and production problems
• Collaborate with teams inside Tesla (manufacturing, test, NPI, supply chain, etc.)
• Communicate with suppliers for DFM feedback and tool development
• Support continuous product and process improvement
• Some travel to support off-site launch of new factories, supplier visits, etc.
• Challenge industry standards (as well as our own) to continually raise the bar
• Think outside of the box
• Mentor less experienced engineers through the design process

• Strong engineering fundamentals in materials and mechanics

• Detail-oriented personality with solid documentation and reporting skills
• Strong experience in CAD modeling (experience in CATIA V5/3DX is a plus but not required)
• Prior experience in a relevant engineering field is valued, but the team has openings from entry level to expert
• Don't worry if you don't have all of these skills mastered - as long as you are excited about the challenge we will guide you through it
• Demonstrated ability to lead a project from technical standpoint: from initial design to manufacturing
• Find joy from solving problem with design solutions.
