CAE Engineer, Battery Module [Germany]

 

What to Expect

CAE/CFD Engineers on the Battery Module Team are at the leading edge of next generation Tesla products. In this role, you will be responsible for analyzing and optimizing the performance of revolutionary vehicle and energy storage battery designs. The Battery Module team lies in the confluence between cell engineering and battery pack engineering, helping to push cell performance limits to make incredible products. You will be an innovative and skilled problem solver – using all analytical tools available to you. Where these tools are insufficient or do not exist, you will develop novel methodologies to enable fast and accurate solutions. You will be brilliant both technically as an individual, and as an active member in a diverse and challenging cross-functional team environment. The role requires strong fundamentals, a passion to push the boundaries of technology and the tenacity to make designs successful. Our design requirements push the limits of physical possibility, which requires you to be extremely detail oriented in supporting the design engineers making tradeoffs. Tesla moves quickly, so being self-motivated and disciplined is critical. You must be passionate, but direction changes quickly, so you must also be resilient.
