What You’ll Do What You’ll Bring
- End-to-end ownership of the thermal system designs for new and existing Tesla Energy products, ensuring the designed parts and system meet the optimized requirements and can successfully scale into mass production
- Component and system mechanical design ownership of compression cycles, coolant systems, and air flow systems, converting requirements into design concepts and materializing these concepts into physical, validated, mass-production-ready parts/systems
- Build-to-print mechanical design component design ownership, inclusive of high-power actuators (pumps, fans, compressors), fluidic management devices (valves, manifolds, integrated manifolding plates), heat exchangers, system integration components, etc
- Develop and execute component and subsystem design validation plans and test methods to validate product adherence to requirements, in collaboration with parallel validation and systems engineering teams
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine requirements and specifications to optimally achieve product performance, schedule, cost, reliability, and quality targets
- 3-6 years of product design experience
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
- Proficiency in CAD modeling, CATIA V5/6 a plus
- Experience in designing for high volume assembly
- Experience in structural analysis including structural FEA, vibration/dynamic analysis, thermal
- structural analysis, etc, and the ability to efficiently simplify the analysis approach
- Deep understanding of material science of components used in mechanical design (metals,
- insulators, plastics, connectors, gaskets, etc) and their fabrication processes (injection
- molding, casting, forging, brazing/welding, etc)
- Proficiency in GD&T and development of high-quality drawing packages/manufacturing
- instructions for parts and assemblies
- Strong engineering fundamentals in heat transfer, mechanics, and fluids, thermal FEA and CFD experience preferred
- Familiarity with design for reliability/FMEA concepts, PLM/engineering change systems, PCBAs/electrical systems, and firmware/controls
- Experience defining test plans, designing test setups, and analyzing data
These jobs might be a good fit
