8 mechanical design engineer interiors jobs found

Analyze and help design and develop occupant and pedestrian protection safety systems to further enhance overall vehicle safety in regulatory, consumer testing, and due care cases. Tesla is synonymous with industry leading crash safety performance and in this role, the analysis engineer will be an innovative and skilled problem solver, using all analytical tools available. Where these tools are insufficient or do not exist, they will develop novel methodologies to enable fast and accurate solutions. They will be brilliant, both technically, as an individual, and as an active member in a diverse and challenging cross-functional team environment. The Role Build state-of-the-art finite element (FE) models of vehicle structures, interiors and restraints Design and analyze restraint systems for various vehicle models Develop and apply advanced crash safety FE methodologies and analysis techniques to drive innovation in design Work closely with structure,...

Join the Tesla Optimus team and help build the future of general-purpose robotics. We are developing a highly capable, safe, and scalable humanoid robot designed to perform useful tasks in factories, homes, and beyond—leveraging Tesla’s expertise in AI, product design, and high-volume manufacturing. Our mission is to create a robot that can understand and interact with the real world at a level that transforms everyday life and unlocks new possibilities for humanity. The Soft Goods and Exteriors team designs the robot’s skin and suit—everything you can see and feel. We work closely with the Tesla Design Studio to create a futuristic and inspiring aesthetic while respecting the human form. Achieving this vision requires a creative design mindset and relentless innovation in flexible materials, textiles, and fabrication processes capable of reaching massive scale with exceptional quality. The Role Design and develop the robot’s skin, clothing, and accessories, balancing...

Every input a Tesla takes — from the road beneath it or the person inside it — is a signal your hardware has to get right. The road pushes back through the steering rack; a driver reaches for a button without looking. Both are physical acts the car must read perfectly, millions of times a day — and both come down to the same craft: translating force, torque, position, and proximity into a signal the car can act on. Vehicle-dynamics sensing — handwheel angle/position, steering torque, rack position, suspension travel, wheel speed, brake pad position and pressure, inertial state — feeds FSD and vehicle control. As the chassis moves to steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire, and active suspension, these signals lose their mechanical fallback — your sensor becomes the safety-critical source of truth, and it has to be right every time. Human-interaction sensing — solid-state buttons, capacitive touchpads, electromechanical door handles and switches, stalk and seat sensors, proximity sensors —...

The New Programs Engineering team works at the front end of vehicle design and development, operating in an iterative environment to study, simulate, build, and prove Tesla's future vehicle design concepts. This position will own a first-of-kind vehicle system from early concept through validation and into mass production. You will frequently interact with Design and Vehicle Engineering teams, most closely with Exteriors, Body-in-White, Chassis, and Electrical Systems. This is a hands-on mechanical design engineering role where product design expertise, a first-principles approach to problem solving, and the ability to navigate ambiguity on novel systems are essential. We are looking for an engineer who thrives on bringing clean-sheet concepts to life and can drive technical decisions independently. Experience with deployable mechanisms, dynamic sealing, tribology, and high-performance or motorsport applications is highly valued. The Role Own the full lifecycle of a...
