Mechanical Engineer, Low Voltage Wire Harness

This role will require direct constant communication with Harness Design team globally on all design features, changes, improvements and harness functionality with all LV devices and systems. You as the engineer will take the initiative to identify and resolve all possible issues in the given scope, working with the broader engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams. You will work directly with suppliers to resolve any design or quality issues. 

• Make key design decisions in resolving electrical/physical integration and optimization issues with other internal Tesla parties on a daily basis, namely for example: Low Voltage Systems, Infotainment, Audio, PCBA Design, Chassis, Interiors, Seats, HVAC, Environmental/Vibe Testing, CATIA Integration, Manufacturing Engineering, etc. 
• Work with Suppliers for Design-for-Manufacturability to reduce assembly complexity, cost and lead time.
• Work with Supplier Industrial Engineer to set up and review production lines at suppliers, including any associated mechanical components.
• Support RC (Release Candidate – pre-production) with quick-turn parts and make sure installation works properly as design-intended incl. supporting with a subassembly fixture design prior to full vehicle being available
• Highlight design concerns (such as high insertion force on connectors, grommet installation and sealing issues) or reliability concerns on detailed design features and drive the solution to remove these concerns through weekly tests, follow ups, upper management deep-dive reviews and cross functional team reviews
• Closely work with Reliability team to ensure proper testing on finished designs (vibe, corrosion, torque-to-failure, EMI/shielding, etc.)
