Mechanical Design Engineer, Battery Engineering, Semi

Overview

What to Expect : Our small team is developing the batteries for the upcoming Tesla Semi. The role requires strong fundamentals, a passion to push the boundaries of technology, and the tenacity to make your designs successful. Our design requirements push the limits of physical possibility, from individual battery cells to integrating battery structure with large-scale heavy duty commercial vehicle architecture, which requires you to be extremely detail oriented and to hold your designs to the highest standards of quality and manufacturability. Our team is small and necessitates a willingness to play a variety of roles and fill gaps as needed. We collaborate with many engineering groups, requiring a team player mentality. Tesla moves quickly, so being self-motivated and disciplined is critical. You must be passionate, but direction changes quickly, so you must also be resilient.
