What to Expect

Join Tesla's Mission to Shape the Future of Robotics.At Tesla, we are not just accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy; we are also at the forefront of developing advanced robotics to augment human capabilities. The Optimus program is a cornerstone of this vision, and its success hinges on innovative engineering, right down to the specialized tools and equipment used for its assembly, testing, and service. As a Mechatronics Tooling Engineer for Optimus, you will be instrumental in creating these vital solutions. Pioneer the Tools That Build and Maintain the Future: Optimus.This is a unique opportunity to blend your mechanical and electrical engineering

expertise

to design and build the essential infrastructure for our humanoid robot. You

won't

just be

designing on

a screen;

you will

be deeply involved in the hands-on creation, iteration, and deployment of sophisticated tooling. If you thrive on practical problem-solving and have a passion for bringing complex electro-mechanical systems to life, this role offers a direct path to

impacting

one of the most ambitious robotics projects in the world.

What You'll Do

Conceptualize, design, and develop innovative tooling and equipment specifically for the assembly, calibration, testing, and servicing of the Optimus robot, encompassing both mechanical structures and electrical/electronic integration Lead the hands-on fabrication, assembly, wiring, and validation of prototype and production-ready tooling, fixtures, and test systems Integrate sensors, actuators, control systems, and data acquisition components into tooling solutions to enhance functionality and diagnostic capabilities Collaborate intimately with Optimus design engineers, manufacturing teams, and robot technicians to deeply understand requirements,

identify

challenges, and rapidly iterate on solutions Develop comprehensive documentation, including 3D CAD models, electrical schematics, build procedures, and user guides for the tooling you create Actively
