Tesla Motors, Inc.
What to Expect
The Chassis Design Engineering team is responsible for tires, wheels, hubs, halfshafts, steering, suspension, subframes, brakes, pedals/controls, and air suspension systems on all of Tesla's passenger car and heavy vehicle programs. A Mechanical Design Engineer on the team is responsible for bringing those systems from concept to production and beyond with support from other Engineering teams at Tesla.
The Engineer's responsibilities include design, analysis, sourcing, prototyping, testing, vehicle assembly validation, quality control, engineering documentation, and more. The Engineer should be able to readily apply mechanical engineering fundamentals to creatively solve problems and learn quickly while managing their projects independently. We are looking for someone who will go beyond the status quo to make the best product in terms of cost, mass, and performance. The Engineer should be able to communicate clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical colleagues. Hands-on experience is a major plus for engineering development work and addressing production issues. Some travel to suppliers may be required, including international travel.
