Associate Electrical Engineer, Factory Design, Terafab

What to Expect
Tesla is looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our Infrastructure Electrical Engineering team in Austin, TX. You’ll help design the electrical distribution system that powers Gigafactory Texas — from vehicle/cell manufacturing and Optimus production lines to our AI training data centers and Terafab, Tesla’s newest semiconductor facility.
Our electrical team owns and designs the complete power system from medium voltage distribution down to 120V loads. You’ll coordinate across disciplines and partner with Construction to take projects from design through energization. Your skills and knowledge will grow exponentially as you tackle and solve problems related to design, procurement lead times and constructability.

The role requires a highly organized mindset, the ability to drive multi-disciplinary projects, and consistent high performance. This is a full-time, onsite role in Austin.

What You’ll Do

• Support electrical power distribution design from scope through construction, working with senior engineers
• Apply the National Electrical Code (NEC) to develop code-compliant designs
• Coordinate with Design Managers, Manufacturing, Construction and other stakeholders
• Prepare IFP/IFC electrical deliverables (single-line diagrams, panel schedules, grounding drawings, underground conduit drawings, power plans, lighting layouts) in Revit MEP
• Perform field walks and surveys with peers and Construction
• Review equipment submittals and specifications with guidance from senior engineers
• Answer RFIs and design questions

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
• 0-2 years of experience in electrical design. Internships and co-ops related to MEP design and Revit software are considered
• Ability to prepare and complete electrical deliverables using REVIT MEP
• Coursework or experience using the NEC to size overcurrent protection, conductors and grounding
• Exposure to low voltage distribution design (480V to 120V)
• Highly organized, able to prioritize and comfortable working across disciplines. Strong desire to be part of Tesla and a world-class team focused on achieving amazing results
• Experience with lighting calculations using Elum Tools is a plus
