Tesla is committed to hiring and developing top talent from across the world for any given discipline. Their world-class teams operate with a non-conventional product development philosophy of high interdisciplinary collaboration, flat organizational structure, and technical contribution at all levels. You will be expected to challenge and to be challenged, to create, and to innovate. These jobs are not for everyone; you must have a genuine passion for producing the best vehicles in the world. Without passion, you will find what Tesla's trying to do too difficult.
