What You’ll Do
  • Design development, validation and manufacturing launch of components of one or more of Interiors commodities (dependent on phase of ongoing program(s)) balancing inputs and attributes including, but not limited to, Design Studio styling, ergonomics, serviceability, integration packaging with cost, mass, craftsmanship, NVH, automation, etc. This iterative process includes close collaboration with Studio, Purchasing and Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and broader engineering teams through CAD development, CAE loops, RFQ stages, sourcing, part production, launch and build root-causing
  • Utilize and/or create DFSS, DFMEA, DVP&R concepts and processes to produce robust vehicle component designs alongside hands-on prototyping and trials to learn and fail fast. Consider both analytical and physical assessments including dimensional tolerance stack-ups in design as well as to create detailed GD&T drawings and corresponding checking fixtures. Work closely with Validation and Test & Reliability groups.Collaborate efficiently with key external suppliers and to support overall vehicle development milestones, prototype/production build events, and a successful start of production. Work in partnership with suppliers through part design (when applicable), root-cause troubleshooting, manufacturing trials, part and system level validation, etc. to actively understand and contribute to design solutions.
  • Analyze Field Reliability data of current programs to improve Interior Reliability through design/process/manufacturing changes. Release design changes through Tesla’s 3DExperience system to properly document and track part updates, MBOM changes, and PO releases to downstream teams and suppliers
What You’ll Bring
  • Education background in Mechanical Engineering with a minimum of 3 years of experience in automotive interior component and subsystem engineering, demonstrating technical aptitude from concept through release and launch for production
