The Tesla Energy Products team is bringing battery and solar technology to the grid to facilitate a renewable energy ecosystem and redefine the way the world will use energy in the future. As part of the Thermal Architecture team, you are the design lead that defines and designs the thermal systems that make Tesla Energy products like Megapack, Supercharger and Powerwall world class.
This role involves collaboration with designers, engineering, manufacturing, firmware, and service and requires the ability to apply engineering fundamentals to model and design thermal systems that are at the core of Tesla’s success. Our team is small, committed, fast moving and we believe a diverse team of motivated individuals can accomplish almost anything.

We are problem solvers, team players and game changers. If this sounds like you, Tesla just might be the place to make your mark.
