What to Expect We're seeking top engineers to design paradigm-shifting battery cells- the heart of every Tesla product- and the biggest lever on affordable, abundant, and performant EVs for all. Our vertically-integrated program is industry one-of-a-kind: the opportunity to drive architectures from the ground up, influence roadmap & full product portfolio, and master technical challenges in manufacturing at orders-of-magnitude greater volume than is typical for automotive systems. The role requires strong 1st principles, a passion for advancing state-of-the-art, and the tenacity to ensure the success of your ideas. Our team habitually defies convention and designs to the limits of physics. You'll align inputs from multiple disciplines (supply chain, electrochemistry design, manufacturing & quality engineering) to develop new cell products, set & validate to requirements, and launch into mass production. Tesla moves fast: self-motivation, discipline, collaboration, and strong communication are critical for success- in addition to embracing ambiguity as an opportunity for defining novel directions. Your environment will include battle-proven industry experts, high-aptitude recent graduates, and open access to a wealth of domain leaders across every Tesla department. We feel immense daily satisfaction surrounding ourselves with high-ownership, empathetic, truth-seeking, continuously learning, mission-oriented people- join us!
