Robotics Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Systems, Optimus

As a Mechanical Product Design Engineer for the Tesla-bot program you will be responsible for integration of mechanical and electrical components, consolidating and packaging connectors, harnesses and sensors. You will be on the front line of cutting-edge electromechanical architecture and integration for actuators, sensors, and distribution devices.

Responsibilities

Design start-to-launch electromechanical parts and assemblies including plastics, sheet metal, heat sinks, as well as PCBA, rigid-flex PCBA and FPC MCO’s Mechanical integration analysis including thermal, design for assembly, design for test and stack-up Closely work cross-functionally with other mechanical, electrical, software, and firmware engineers to generate architectural tradeoffs and generate elegant designs Have engineering responsibility across all stages of product development, collaborating with suppliers and internal Tesla teams, overseeing prototyping, and managing RC, Beta, and Pilot builds

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics Engineering or equivalent experience 2+ years of relevant experience Knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stacks, design for manufacturing/automation/test/reliability (DFM/DFA/DFT/DFR). Experience with DFMEA and PFMEA Basic understanding of electrical design fundamentals, as well as familiarity with PCBAs and PCBA components Strong knowledge of materials, fabrication methods for low- and high-volume Analytical background for successful design (tolerance stack-ups, solid mechanics, thermal, cost and mass optimization) Passion for electro-mechanical product design and finding simpler solutions to meet requirements Ability to present data/trade-offs to facilitate decision-making Experience taking projects from concept to production Experience with FFC's, FPC's, and rigid-flex technologies preferred
