Thermoform Design Engineer (Tesla

Thin-Gauge Thermoform Design Engineer (Tesla, U.S.): This role focuses on designing thin-gauge thermoformed plastic components (e.g. lightweight trays, enclosures, packaging inserts) for Tesla's products and operations. The engineer leads end-to-end design of thermoformed parts and tooling from concept through production, ensuring design for manufacturability in thin plastic sheet forming (typically <1.5 mm thickness). Responsibilities include creating detailed 3D CAD models and drawings, conducting feasibility and tolerance analyses to optimize designs, and collaborating cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to meet high-volume production and quality standards. The engineer also supports tooling fabrication and validation with internal teams or external toolmakers to ensure that thermoforming molds and processes achieve the required performance and precision. (Notably, Tesla's hirin...
