Mechanical Design Engineer – Low Voltage Wire Harness & Components in Grünheide (Mark) bei Tesla

Tesla

What to Expect

We are looking for a highly motivated and talented individual to join our team as a launch and sustaining engineer. You will be in charge for the local release, launch, ramp, and sustaining of LowVoltage Wire Harness & Components and assemblies for upcoming Model Y production, and future Tesla vehicles, in Gigafactory Berlin. You will be part of the global team that designs structural aspect of the batteries in all of Tesla’s vehicles. You will be working with extremely motivated engineers that hold themselves to the highest standards. We are always pushing the limit on what is possible and challenging industry standards as well as our own. You must be excited to engineer the best EV in the world and will to push the limit. Because Tesla moves fast, it is critical to be able to adapt to changes and collarborate with large groups of people in a short amount of time. Successful members of the team will have a breadth of design engineering interests and capabilities as well as have an open mind that challenges boundaries and have “do whatever it takes” mindset.

What You’ll Do

Engineering design responsibility for a wide variety of electrical wire harnesses, connectors and custom-components in Tesla vehicles

Engineering responsibility throughout all stages: concept, requirements definition (iterative), prototype, detailed CATIA (V6) model, 2D drawing synchronized with electrical circuitry provided by the Wire Harness Electrical Engineer, vendor selection (support to Supply Chain), design validation and optimization in Beta and RC phases, volume tooling and processes for Start of Production and production ramp-up. Life-cycle improvements and cost reductions as needed.

Make design decisions, and provide leadership in resolving electrical/physical integration and optimization issues with other internal Tesla parties on a daily basis, namely for example: Body, Low Voltage Systems, Infotainment, Audio, PCBA Design, Chassis, Interiors, Seats, HVAC, Environmental/Vibe Testing, CATIA Integration, CAE Crash Analysis, Vehicle Durability and Crash Test, Manufacturing Engineering, etc.

Design to significantly reduce mass and volume/space and to optimize wire bundle routing in the vehicle, minimize NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness), prevent possibility of moisture ingress/damage

Work with Suppliers for Design-for-Manufacturability to reduce assembly complexity, cost and lead time reduction

Design components for ease and efficiency of manufacture, as well as ease and efficiency of installation in vehicles. Work with manufacturing and assembly process engineers for successful implementation.

Work with SIE (Supplier Industrial Engineer) to setup and review production lines at suppliers, including any associated mechanical components

SupportRC (Release Candidate – pre-production) with quick-turn parts and make sure installation works properly as design-intended incl. supporting with a subassembly fixture design prior to full vehicle being available

Highlight design concerns (such as high insertion force on connectors, grommet installation and sealing issues) or reliability concerns on detailed design features and drive the solution progress to remove these concerns through weekly tests, follow ups, upper management deep-dive reviews and cross functional team reviews.
