Mechanical Design Engineer, Integration
Tesla, Hawthorne, CA, United States
What To Expect
The Studio Integration team at Tesla is central to engineering new products and bringing concepts to life. We collaborate across all aspects of styling, engineering, and manufacturing to deliver exceptional product designs and customer experiences. The team is involved from the earliest stages of development to establish the product architecture and layout, considering attributes like styling, cost, mass, manufacturability, performance, service, NVH, reliability, and more. This work aligns with Tesla's mission to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy and usher in an age of amazing abundance through innovative products that will change the world. In this role, you will focus specifically on robotics programs, such as Tesla Optimus, within the broader studio integration efforts.
What You'll Do
Mechanical design and packaging of components to meet product and system level requirements while optimizing robotics attributes
Lead product integration reviews, mediate trade-off situations to ensure design solutions are aligned with styling, engineering, and manufacturing targets
Lead packaging master section development supporting Class A surface development and product integration feasibility for robotic systems
Support and execute virtual builds, development bucks, physical prototypes, and pre-series production for product prototypes
Manage CAD and surface maturity for the program, highlighting gaps that could lead to product development delays, while using best practices for ensuring completeness and compatibility, and supporting the release process
Consolidate and document styling, engineering, manufacturing, and other criteria
Use engineering first principles to identify and propose solutions to complex cross-functional problems
Coordinate the timing and prioritization of issue resolution and feasibility convergence to meet product development timelines
Build positive team culture and maintain strong relationships with cross-functional teams
What You'll Bring
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
Experience in robotics integration and packaging, with a focus on full product lifecycle from concept through production
Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals and a robust first-principles approach
Extensive understanding of design principles supporting functional robotic systems
Knowledge of part manufacturing processes, from circuit boards to large castings, including those relevant to robotics
Outstanding design, packaging, and 3D modeling skills, with CATIA/3DX experience as an advantage
Proven problem-solving, strong communication, and exceptional leadership skills with decision-making abilities
Benefits
Medical plans with plan options and $0 payroll deduction
Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits
Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both with $0 paycheck contribution
Company Paid Health Savings Account (HSA) contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSA
Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits
Company paid Basic Life, AD&D
Short-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period)
Employee Assistance Program
Sick and vacation time, flexible time for salary positions, and paid holidays
Back-up childcare and parenting support resources
Voluntary benefits including critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance
Weight loss and tobacco cessation programs
Tesla Babies program
Commuter benefits
Employee discounts and perks program
Expected Compensation
$87,020 - $185,820 annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits
Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements dependent on the position offered. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment.
