About the Job

Requirements

  • An advanced technician or engineering background in mechanical, manufacturing, automotive, or a related area, with the ability to read and interpret computer-aided design models, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and engineering drawings.
  • Hands-on technical experience servicing or building complex vehicles or hardware, with the ability to assess service complexity and identify design risks from a technician's perspective.
  • Demonstrated ability to embed with design and engineering teams, influence design decisions early, and partner rather than gate.
  • Experience driving root cause analysis on field-escalated issues and translating findings into design or process fixes.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to translate technical concepts across audiences such as design engineers, technicians, and leadership, and produce clear standards and documentation.
  • Comfort working with field data and service trends and using analytics to prioritize design improvements and identify automation opportunities.
  • Ability to travel up to 25% of the time to factories, design centers, and service locations.

Responsibilities

  • Embed with design and engineering teams to bring a hands-on technician's perspective to new and sustaining programs and incorporate serviceability requirements.
  • Review computer-aided design models, designs, and engineering changes from a serviceability perspective; provide direct technical feedback and partner with design engineers to resolve issues before release.
  • Assess service complexity, identify design risks, and recommend solutions to reduce repair time, tooling needs, and field failure modes.
  • Troubleshoot complex technical issues escalated from the field, work with engineering to identify root causes, and drive design or process fixes.
  • Contribute to and maintain Design for Serviceability standards, scoring criteria, and technical documentation for consistent, accessible knowledge across Service Development and engineering.
  • Coach and share technical knowledge with service teams and cross-functional partners on design intent, service procedures, and updates.
  • Analyze field data and service trends to surface insights, prioritize design improvements, and drive automation opportunities back to engineering.

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
