Energy | Mechanical Design Engineering

• The Industrial Energy Enclosure Engineering team is a small group of hands-on mechanical engineers. Our charter is to design robust and reliable electronics enclosures to enable the successful deployment and operation of Tesla’s Utility scale storage and Supercharging products. We work in a space crowded with regulatory requirements where competitors and suppliers are often invested in the status quo. Our team’s job is to ignore the status quo, challenge rules where appropriate, and implement fundamentals only engineering to make the absolute best products possible. Seeking a candidate who has a demonstrated ability or ability with CAD design, FEA, prototyping; and experience with CATIA V5 or V6.

Energy | Supercharger, Mechanical Engineering

• The Supercharger mechanical design team is a fun, diverse group of engineers, working to design world class charging hardware. We are responsible for major system architecture decisions, detailed design and simulation, and hardcore mechanical design of all elements of the Supercharger system. We are responsible for the success of the product from the early ideation phase all the way to mass production. The Supercharger engineering team is one of the few teams at the company that works on core Tesla tech, high power distribution, while also working on products that everyday people interact with. We are looking for mission driven, enthusiastic design engineers with a passion for hands on work. Seeking candidate who have experience with CATIA V5 or V6 and work knowledge of GD&T, finite element analysis, design for reliability concepts, and Matlab or Python.

Energy | Industrial Storage Hardware, Mechanical Design Engineering

• The Industrial Storage Hardware Engineering team is a group of mechanical engineers dedicated to designing internal systems on all Tesla industrial energy storage products. Our focus is on developing large-scale energy storage technology that can be deployed to provide electrical grid stability and storage for renewable sources. We are responsible for battery design, high voltage distribution, safety systems, wire harnesses, internal mechanism design, and more. We are a small team with a wide scope that allows us to react quickly and make decisions that have a large impact on our products. We are looking for team members who are eager to learn, are motivated and able to take ownership of projects, and who ask the right questions to progress solutions to difficult problems. Seeking candidates with CAD experience, GD&T, Mechanical FEA modelling, vibration analysis background and a working knowledge of Matlab or Python.

Energy | Industrial Storage Service

• The Tesla Energy Industrial Storage Service Engineering team is responsible for diagnosing and resolving product issues and escalations from Field Service teams to drive the best customer experience and fleet availability. In this internship you will identify and help resolve fleet-wide performance, operation, and maintenance challenges across the growing fleet of energy products by creating analytics that provide insights to drive action to maintain and improve the fleet. Seeking candidaets with experience using Python or equivalent for data analysis on very large databases, experience with developing, managing or maintaining equipment running Linux based applications, and knowledge of CAN Bus communication.

• Currently pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field
• Strong Engineering fundamentals in statics, dynamics, heat transfer, fluids, materials science, and electronics
