role at
Tesla Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Design Engineer to tackle design and manufacturing on a challenging new mass production line geared towards next generation cell manufacturing. You will be working alongside engineers to develop an advanced new product and be among the first individuals to work on cutting edge equipment design within Tesla. This fast-paced team is the perfect environment if you are interested in developing multiple skills and having an immediate impact on the future of electric vehicles. You will be a problem solver and an idea contributor. You will bring a get-it-done attitude while successfully developing new skills to add to your inventory and grow your career. What You'll Do
Lead design of specific sub-assemblies on next gen calendaring, lamination, and slitting equipment with focus on design robustness, precision, and serviceability Closely collaborate with external equipment integrators on custom automation equipment focusing on optimizing the design, layout, and function of the hardware Lead design reviews at different design phases to develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its determined lifetime Develop assembly procedures, design fixtures, and design equipment for testing and calibration Design creative mechanisms for precision motion on large high throughput equipment Perform load calculations to determine sizing of actuators, transmissions, and bearing elements Apply analytical methods including calculations and simulations for the design and optimization of structures and mechanical components Fabricate prototypes, iterate rapidly, and advance concepts through to volume production Collaborate with manufacturing engineers, EHS, electrical, maintenance, and tool install teams to discuss assembly, commissioning, and service, and incorporate relevant improvements in design Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM), perform tolerance analysis to determine system impacts of assembly fits and backlash, and develop specifications for custom automation equipment What You'll Bring
Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience Strong experience in designing high-volume automated manufacturing equipment Experience in high volume manufacturing involving roll to roll / calendaring / battery manufacturing is highly desired Experience developing manufacturing processes for new and unique products Experience transitioning products from prototype to mass production Proficiency in developing automated manufacturing equipment, fixturing, and tooling in 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred, Catia is also a plus) Experience generating unique designs through innovation and creativity to solve engineering challenges Significant experience in leading design reviews from ideation to production Ability and willingness to travel domestically and internationally (~5%) Compensation and Benefits
Expected Compensation: $92,720 - $206,520 per year plus cash and stock awards and benefits Pay offered may vary depending on location, knowledge, skills, and experience; details of participation in benefits will be provided if an offer is extended Benefits: Health, dental, vision plans; 401(k) with employer match; life and disability insurance; Flexible Spending Accounts; employee discounts; and other programs Seniority level
