Mechanical Design Engineer

Overview

Staff Mechanical Design Engineer role at Tesla.

• Lead conceptual equipment development and carefully balance product specifications, process requirements, layout complexity, cost, and lead-time limits
• Contribute to equipment development to realize new/innovative/improved manufacturing processes from proof of concept through to full scale production
• Contribute and drive improvement of equipment effectiveness, manufacturing tolerance, stability, automation, and intelligence
• Create 3D CAD models, detailed drawings with GD&T for manufacturing and assembly, mechanical BOMs, safety, and maintenance documentation
• Prepare motion studies for complex designs and create FEA studies on intricate designs – strong understanding of dynamics, force and stress analysis, and solid mechanics
• Selection and integration of commercial components, sensors, servos, pneumatic actuators, etc.
• Review, identify, and provide feedback on performance, design simplicity, robustness, assembly, and installation
• Provide mechanical engineering support to fabrication, assembly, project management and production teams to troubleshoot and resolve design issues and implement enhancements to optimize machine performance

• 5+ years of experience as a hands-on mechanical/manufacturing/design engineer/designer working on mechanical and/or electromechanical systems
• Versed in Solid Works, PDM, AutoCAD, and/or similar CAD/CAE software
• Strong understanding of drafting standards and the application of GD&T (e.g., ASME Y14.5)
• Proficiency in designing mechanical equipment, fixtures, layouts, and tooling in 2D and 3D CAD (Solid Works & AutoCAD preferred)
• Proficiency in creating detailed drawings from solid models for various fabrication techniques (CNC/manual machining, welding, sheet metal forming, 3D printing) and mechanical assembly methods (press fits, fastener selection)
• Knowledge of automated equipment systems and tools - robotic, vision, material handling, Conveyors, PLC, etc.
• Knowledgeable in solid mechanics, pneumatics, hydraulics, dynamics, material selection, prototyping and DoE, testing methods, common machining, and fabrication processes
• Exposure to a wide variety of test systems, production machinery, industrial sensors, actuators, and equipment (pogo-pins, pressure transducers, temperature controllers, current meters, etc.)
• Experience writing production documentation, checklists, process flow diagrams, SOPs, etc.
• Experience of new equipment installations and new product startups and prior experience in high volume manufacturing or relevant engineering field is valued
