What to Expect
The Cabin Engineering team leads concept development and launch of nearly all customer-facing areas inside our vehicles including Seats (all rows Structures, Support Systems, Comfort/Mechatronics) and Interiors (Cockpit (Instrument Panel, Door Trim, Console) and Cabin (Overhead Trims, Hard Trims, and Soft Trims)) through a vehicle’s end-of-life. Our team’s goal is to innovate and engineer a premium Interior System for our vehicles while optimizing our critical attributes like cost, mass, manufacturability, etc. This is a pivotal role to act as liaison between US and Berlin engineering teams to tackle challenging problems together. As part of a global company, you will tackle engineering challenges together with US and CN Cabin teams alongside other cross-functional teams to continuously innovate and launch new products for Europe and other growing markets.
What You’ll Do
- Lead a commodity group of the team (Seats, Cabin, or Cockpit) including scope of several subsystems through full engineering development and launch lifecycles, ensuring technical deliverables and timelines are met according to Program Plan of Record scope
- Support technical development of the team via Technical Design Reviews, engineering training, and mentorship of more junior engineers
- Design development, validation and manufacturing launch of components balancing inputs and attributes including, but not limited to, Design Studio styling, ergonomics, serviceability, integration packaging with cost, mass, craftsmanship, NVH, automation, etc. This iterative process includes close collaboration with Studio, Purchasing and Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and broader engineering teams through CAD development, CAE loops, RFQ stages, sourcing, part production, launch and build root-causing
- Utilize and/or create DFSS, DFMEA, DVP&R concepts and processes to produce robust vehicle component designs alongside hands-on prototyping and trials to learn and fail fast. Consider both analytical and physical assessments including dimensional tolerance stack-ups in design as well as to create detailed GD&T drawings and corresponding checking fixtures. Work closely with Validation and Test & Reliability groups. Collaborate efficiently with key external suppliers and to support overall vehicle development milestones, prototype/production build events, and a successful start of production. Work in partnership with suppliers through part design (when applicable), root-cause troubleshooting, manufacturing trials, part and system level validation, etc. to actively understand and contribute to design solutions.
- Analyze Field Reliability data of current programs to improve Interior Reliability through design/process/manufacturing changes. Release design changes through Tesla’s 3DExperience system to properly document and track part updates, MBOM changes, and PO releases to downstream teams and suppliers
- Support team growth via hiring at all engineering levels for Cabin Engineering team.
What You’ll Bring
- Education background in Mechanical Engineering with a minimum of 6-8 years of experience in automotive seats and/or interior component and subsystem engineering. Proficient in English.
- First principles, physics-based thinker, and problem solver attitude with mental agility to handle problems of varied scope and complexity, and tight timing constraints. Demonstrate engineering technical aptitude, excellent communication, and creativity.
- In-depth technical understanding of common automotive and new, latest mass manufacturing technologies and the relationship to design feasibility for a variety of processes including stamping, welding, injection molding, thermoforming, and lamination to achieve world-class craftsmanship/ performance targets.
- Proficiency in 3D modeling utilizing CATIA V5 or V6 is essential within an automotive product development environment. Experience with Change Control and Part Release within 3DExperience platform is a bonus.
- Strong working knowledge of DFM and DFA, including familiarity with GD&T and dimensional controls
