About the Job

Requirements

A Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalent experience, with evidence of exceptional ability.
Strong engineering fundamentals and knowledge of mechanics of materials.
CAD fluency, with CATIA V5/3DX preferred, and comfort reading CAE/NVH results.
Working knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, tolerance analysis, and design for manufacturing, or the ability to build that knowledge quickly.
Ability to take designs from idea to hardware and improve the process.

Responsibilities

Design, engineer, and launch fixed and dynamic glazing systems.
Package and integrate glass with Autopilot, thermal systems, antennas, mechanisms, interiors, and sealing.
Specify designs in 3D and 2D using CATIA V5/3DX, including geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and component specifications.
Drive computer-aided engineering and physical testing, then iterate until appearance, function, quality, cost, and weight targets are met.
Optimize heater grids, coatings, and interlayers to improve performance and reduce optical defects.
Design for high-volume manufacturing and assembly processes.
Partner with the Design Studio, manufacturing, and suppliers from feasibility through prototype and production builds.

Desired Qualifications

Consumer product or automotive design experience.

Job Description

Join Vehicle Engineering in Berlin to build a world of amazing abundance. You will help design the next generation of Tesla products. You will work in a flat, highly collaborative team where technical contribution matters at every level. You will be expected to challenge and be challenged, to create, to innovate. We move fast, we build real products, and we work on some of the most ambitious automotive programs in the world. That should excite you. Be part of a growing Closures engineering team, executing, and launching products for Europe and global markets. You will own exterior glass: how it looks, how it performs, and how it integrates into the door. From heater grids and coatings to seals, trim, and assembly — you take glazing from concept through production.

Job Responsibilities

Design, engineer, and launch fixed/dynamic glazing systems

Package and integrate glass with Autopilot, thermal, antenna, mechanisms, interiors, and sealing

Specify designs in 3D and 2D (CATIA V5/3DX), including GD&T and component specs

Drive CAE and physical testing, then iterate until appearance, function, quality, cost, and weight targets are met

Optimize heater grids, coatings, and interlayers to improve performance and reduce optical defects

Design for high-volume manufacturing and world-class assembly processes

Partner with Design Studio, manufacturing, and suppliers from feasibility through prototype and production builds

Job Requirements

Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalent experience, with evidence of exceptional ability

Strong engineering fundamentals and mechanics of materials, with creative problem-solving

CAD fluency (CATIA V5/3DX preferred) and comfort reading CAE/NVH results

Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and DFM — or a fast path to building it

Bias toward ownership: you take designs from idea to hardware, improve the process, and communicate clearly across teams

Nice to have

Consumer product or automotive design experience

Glazing, ceramics, or advanced manufacturing

Supplier collaboration from concept through production

This role is open to all levels. Junior engineers grow into full ownership. Experts set architecture for the next generation. If you can take a glazing system from concept to production — we want talk.

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.
