Mechanical Design Engineer, New Programs Engineering

The New Programs Engineering team works at the front-end of vehicle design and development, working in an iterative environment to study, simulate, build, and prove Tesla’s future generation of vehicles. This position will interact with many cross-functional teams from the Design, Vehicle Engineering, and Powertrain Engineering teams in creating different prototypes for Engineering development. This is a Mechanical Design Engineering position where product design expertise and a fundamental, first principles approach to problem solving are far more important than extensive project engineering or automotive industry specific experience.

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience
• A minimum of 2 years of experience in a product development environment
• Hands-on experience in designing and building electro-mechanical systems
• Broad knowledge of rapid prototyping methodologies and techniques for metals, polymers and other materials
• Capability to parametrically use 3D CAD software, an understanding of Engineering fundamentals, and capability to run FEA
• Effectively handle multiple priorities, organize workloads, and meet tight delivery timelines
• Detail-oriented personality with effective documentation and reporting
