Mechanical Modeling Engineer

What to Expect

We are seeking a talented Mechanical Engineer who will be working on physics modeling and simulations of complex mechanical systems. 

What You’ll Do

• Develop advanced MATLAB functions to model powertrain components. 
• Evaluate durability, lifetime and predict failure by applying mechanics fundamentals. 
• Conduct linear / nonlinear CAE structural analysis, for electromechanical actuator systems and structures, gaining experience in the design process of next-gen Tesla products. 
• System modeling of automotive and/or industrial thermal systems, by analyzing key system performance metrics, targeting optimal component selection and integration. 
• Contribute to the suite of Tesla’s in-house modeling tools by developing fast and scalable workflows. 
• Collaborate with cross functional engineering teams targeting system level optimization. 

What You’ll Bring

• Strong fundamentals in mechanical engineering. 
• Demonstrated experience in computational methods for structural, thermal and multiphysics systems. 
• Strong skills in calculation of components / component optimization / DoE using FEA. 
• Strong MATLAB programming skills. 
• Proficiency in designing parts and assemblies using 3D CAD software. 
• Experience with commercial FEA software (Ansys, Abaqus, Altair). 
• Demonstrate innovation, technical excellence, attention to detail and self-direction. 
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a fast-paced and challenging environment. 
• English fluently in speaking, reading and writing.
