Tesla's Interior Engineering team in Berlin seeks a Mechanical Design Engineer to contribute to the development and launch of next-generation automotive interiors.  Responsibilities include designing, validating, and launching components for various interior parts (instrument panel, door trims, etc.).  This involves collaboration with design, purchasing, manufacturing, and other engineering teams.  The role requires using DFSS, DFMEA, and DVP&R concepts and processes, as well as hands-on prototyping and troubleshooting.  The ideal candidate will have experience in automotive interior component engineering, proficiency in CATIA V5 or V6, and a strong understanding of manufacturing processes. The role also involves liaising between US and Berlin engineering teams.
