Job Description

<p>Tesla Energy is looking for a highly skilled, motivated engineer to own the mechanical design of key subsystems in our next-generation Energy products. You will work on high-voltage distribution, power conversion hardware, and the products that power Tesla Supercharger, industrial Energy and data center applications. The role requires strong engineering fundamentals, a passion for pushing the boundaries of technology, and the tenacity to make your designs succeed. Tesla operates on compressed timelines, so self-motivation, discipline, and resilience are critical. We aim to recruit the most talented engineers to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. </p><p>The Energy mechanical design team is a diverse group of engineers building world-class power hardware. We make major system architecture decisions and own detailed design, simulation, and hands-on mechanical development, from early ideation through mass production. Our work spans high-voltage (HV) distribution systems, PCBA packaging, and electromechanical device design for medium-voltage (MV) subsystems, data center applications, and next-generation power conversion. Few teams at Tesla work on core power distribution technology and also on products that everyday people use. If you are mission-driven, enthusiastic, and love hands-on engineering, this team is for you. </p>

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.
