(Senior) Mechanical Design Engineer, Drive Unit/Traction Inverter (Powertrain) (m/w/d) - Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg
Tesla Grünheide (Mark)
Tesla’s drive unit development team is looking for skilled and motivated mechanical engineers to push the power electronics, motors and geartrains propelling our vehicles to the next level. The team is presently working to improve the current - and design the next - generation of drive units and is looking for engineers (any level) to help drive our designs to the physical limits.
It's an exciting work environment with plenty of engineering resources and bright colleagues to collaborate with. As an industry leading company, Tesla offers the opportunity to work on bleeding edge technology in a fast paced, dynamic, and high visibility role.
- Design and 3D modeling of mechanical components and assemblies including plastics, sheet metal, heat sinks, insulation systems, high voltage connectors, fasteners, and other components.
- Solve electronics packaging issues including electrical isolation, sealing, thermal management, interconnections, shock and vibration management, electromagnetic interference, etc.
- Create drawing packages and manufacturing instructions for parts and assemblies.
- Assist hands-on in engineering prototype builds and component fabrication.
- Collaborate with other mechanical, systems, electrical, digital control, manufacturing, and test engineers to take designs from a clean sheet through prototypes and into mass production.
