Job Description

<p> </p><p>The Tesla Dimensional Analysis team is critical to the engineering design and development of new energy products at Tesla. We simulate high-volume manufacturing and influence part and process design to deliver world class quality in all our products. The team is highly skilled in computational analysis as well as statistical data analysis techniques. We have a broad responsibility that extends from the very smallest dimensional precision requirements of a battery cell through to functional requirements of large assemblies such as body-white-enclosure and complete energy storage systems. </p>

Job Responsibilities

Dimensional CAE simulation – Utilizing dedicated dimensional variation analysis software to analyze and communicate dimensional requirements within engineering teams and with a global manufacturing and supplier base
Full Energy product exposure – The Dimensional Analysis team gets involved in the mechanical design of most energy systems, from High voltage distribution to power electronics and onsite installation
Design Cycle Experience – the team works on parallel design programs, so there is the opportunity to get involved in every stage of the design cycle from early design concept to production ramp-up
Cross functional Interaction – Through the Dimensional Engineering process, there are very broad interactions with other teams including Design, Service, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality and many more
GD&T expertise – GD&T is a key skill that any mechanical designer should be fluent in. It will be one of the most useful assets throughout your career

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.
