What To Expect
Our charter is to design robust and reliable electronics enclosures to enable the successful deployment and operation of Tesla’s utility-scale storage and Supercharging products. We work in a space crowded with regulatory requirements where competitors and suppliers are often invested in the status quo. Our team’s job is to ignore the status quo, challenge rules where appropriate, and implement fundamentals-only engineering to make the absolute best products possible.

As an Analysis Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development and manufacturing of next-generation Tesla Energy products. You will analyze and optimize revolutionary products never before executed. You will excel both technically as an individual and as an active member in a diverse and challenging cross-functional team environment. You will work with Industrial Enclosure & Battery Engineering teams to analyze the performance of current and future designs, and you will work with Test Engineering teams to develop tests, correlate simulation models, and improve the predictive capability of Analysis Engineering at Tesla.

What You'll Do

Build state-of-the-art finite element (FE) models for analysis and optimization of revolutionary battery energy storage systems in collaboration with a small team of multidisciplinary engineers

Challenge established traditional CAE methods and processes to improve efficiency and accuracy

Use CAE tools to optimize performance for enclosures, closures, joints, and other subsystems; correlate CAE simulations to test results

Use correlated simulations and work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to progress the designs; where appropriate, conduct studies by utilizing optimization tools, including DOE techniques on designs, to meet performance requirements with the constraints of conflicting attributes like cost and mass

Support world-class engineering teams with design direction based on your analyses

Perform analysis for feasibility in manufacturing, assembly, and service processes

Quickly learn the tools necessary to execute tasks and modify or create new tools as necessary

What You'll Bring

Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience

Minimum of 5+ years of related experience

Strong foundation in applied engineering mechanics, computational mechanics, materials science, and finite element theory and applications

Expertise in building high-fidelity FE models at component, subsystem, and full-system levels

Demonstrated ability to guide structural, thermal, and safety mechanism designs through CAE, from concept to mass production, across industrial products at scale, while root-causing and resolving correlation issues

Proficiency in linear and nonlinear static, dynamic, and modal simulations; experience developing multiphysics simulation workflows (e.g., thermal-mechanical, mechanical-electrical)

Advanced knowledge in material characterization and modeling, including nonlinear elasticity, viscoelasticity, creep, and strain-rate-dependent plasticity in metals, plastics, polymers, and adhesives

Advanced proficiency in CAE tools such as ANSYS, HyperWorks, Beta CAE, LS-DYNA, Abaqus, and COMSOL

Basic proficiency in 3D CAD modeling; CATIA V5/V6 experience is a plus

Demonstrated ability in iterative and collaborative engineering environments—success in roles requiring high levels of technical communication and interpretation of analytical results to design engineers and technical leadership
