Junior Mechanical Design Engineer (m/w/d) - Seating - Berlin, Germany

What To Expect
As an Engineer in the Seating Engineering Department, you will be in charge for Design Engineering from concept to End of Life, as well as problem solving of existing products.

Today’s seating commodities include structures, mechanisms, actuators, cushions, wire harnesses, controllers, sensors, software, trims and so on. However, future seating solutions are not limited to these. Progression is targeted. A seat can be defined as a product which enables comfortable support for vehicular occupants. In some sense, a seat can be viewed as a moving robotic structural art piece.

Team members typically play dual roles as experts and polymaths. Each team member typically uses their particular expertise as a super power to complement the team. You shall be part of the Seating Engineering Team which resides within Tesla’s Vehicle Engineering Group,

What You'll Do
As an integrated part of Tesla’s Vehicle Engineering team, you will conceptualize, design, engineer and manage Seating System parts and products. You shall be part and product responsible.

Primarily contributing to the team with your expertise on Structural components (stampings, welding, bolted joints, castings, engineering composites, etc.).

The essence of your job would be to exceed the automotive industry expectations for safety and usability of the Seating systems always based on engineering first principles while employing the Design Engineering process which includes the following:

Problem understanding and definition & target setting

Concept generation and evaluation & product strategy and architecture planning

Negotiation, balancing and management of product attributes including safety, functionality, comfort, aesthetics, cost, mass, schedule, sustainability

Validation and optimization through including prototype making, physical testing, CAE simulations, design reviews

3D model and 2D drawing creation, Bill of Materials creation and detail design including datum & fixation strategy, GD&T, DFM

Collaboration with external organizations

Technical documentation creation for official use and communication

What You'll Bring

Education background in Mechanical Engineering or similar

Evidence of exceptional ability

Design engineering experience with demonstrated interest in multidisciplinary engineering

Hands on experience where you have built something
