CAE Engineer, Optimus

What To Expect

The Tesla Robotics Team designs and builds humanoid bi-pedal robots (Optimus) to perform tasks that are boring, repetitive, and dangerous for humans. As a CAE Engineer, you will guide the design of sensors and structural components using high-fidelity FE models grounded in sound engineering principles. Working closely with mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and manufacturing teams, you’ll analyze and optimize designs, challenge traditional CAE methods, and pioneer more efficient, accurate approaches. This role places you at the forefront of critical design and engineering decisions, shaping a robust and reliable humanoid robot that has never been executed before.

What You'll Do

• Develop and analyze comprehensive Finite Element (FE) models for Optimus, from individual components to the full system
• Conduct static, dynamic, structural and MBD simulations to evaluate and validate the performance against key requiremen...
