What To Expect
The Tesla Robotics Team designs and builds humanoid bi-pedal robots (Optimus) to perform tasks that are boring, repetitive, and dangerous for humans. As a Mechanical Product Design Engineer for the Tesla-Bot program you will be responsible for developing the electrical architecture of the humanoid robot. You will own the ground up design for harnesses, connectors, and novel dynamic electromechanical devices. Your primary goal will be to develop a highly integrated product by contributing to the electrical architecture decisions, consolidating endpoints, and exploring new ways to transfer power and comms from point to point. This is a fast-paced, mission critical role in which you will solve problems unique to the humanoid robotics field.

What You'll Do

Work closely with cross-functional teams to define sensor product requirements and develop implementations

Prototype development for new sensing technologies and applications

Run validation tests and perform data analysis for sensors

Develop designs in CAD for both detailed parts and assemblies

Perform tolerance analysis, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and other simulations and analyses before releasing designs for production

Create 2D drawings appropriate for production and inspection methods

Conduct Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews with suppliers and support tooling bring up

What You'll Bring

Proficient in CAD, CATIA preferred

Knowledge of design of plastic injection molded, sheet metal stamping and cast parts

Experience in drafting 2D drawings with GD&T

Experience in MATLAB, ProficiencyAbility to perform first-principles analysis to ensure a successful design (physics, stress-strain, thermal, tolerance,

Experience with FEA, ANSYS preferred

Passionate about electro-mechanical product design, inventing solutions, and finding better and simpler ways to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy
