Mechatronics Engineering Technician, Actuators, Tesla Bot

Tesla's actuator team designs and builds actuators for humanoid bi-pedal robots (Tesla Bot). The team joins mechanical, electrical, and electromagnetic Engineering disciplines in a highly collaborative environment.

As part of the actuator design team, you will be responsible for assembly of complex mechanical stacks with little to no instruction other than CAD. This position is critical to the development of the high-performance electromechanical rotary and linear actuator systems for humanoid bi-pedal robots (Tesla Bot).

• Perform mechanical/electrical analysis of actuators and sub-assemblies

• Perform failure analysis and provide root cause analysis

• Assemble custom test setups for dyno testing/investigations, and debug dyno problems of all kinds

• Support R&D with custom test configurations

• Equipment setup of rotational components

• Assemble and testing of early-stage prototype actuators

• Effectively handle multiple priorities, organize workload, and meet deadlines

• Use CAD to design fixtures for rapid prototyping

• Take precise measurements with micrometers/bore gauges

• Work directly with design team to provide rapid feedback on experimental actuators

• Experience in mechanical Engineering

• Experience in electrical Engineering

• Experience in Physics

• Experience in mechatronics

• Experience in manual machining

• Experience with data acquisition systems

• Experience with scripting (Python, Matlab)

• Knowledge of instrumentation devices (displacement sensors, thermal, vibration)

• GD&T
