About The Position
As a Mechanical Design Engineer in Tesla's Battery Cell Formation team, you will be responsible for the mechanical side of battery formation and testing equipment. You will be joining a team that works closely with electrical and PCBA design engineers, manufacturing engineers, equipment engineers, and controls engineers. We are hardcore and the work is fast-paced and challenging - Tesla's mission and vision must excite you. Cell formation is one of the few fields that pushes the limits of a wide breadth of mechanical engineering. You will be required to know and apply statics & dynamics, fluids & thermals, mechanics & vibration, etc. Our work is highly multi-disciplinary and you will be expected to know or learn basic electrical physics and some elementary material science. Strong design skills, a 'first-principles' approach to problem solving, and curiosity to learn and develop are must-haves. At Tesla, our design work doesn't only exist on a computer screen - design engineers will drive prototype builds, engineering testing, and validation of our equipment. You will own the equipment design from conception through all of its phase builds and on to mass-production SOP and beyond. You will also be tasked with solving problems that will require you to dive deep into fully understanding and clearly defining the problem, performing root cause analysis, and developing a way to solve it and proving its efficacy through practical validation.
