Simulation Engineer, Automation Development

Tesla is seeking a Simulation Engineer to join a world-class team of engineers in our Automation Development organization. The Automation Development organization helps bring Tesla's vision to reality by designing and building the automated equipment that manufactures Tesla's world-class products.

We focus on achieving the highest efficiency, manufacturing volume, and safety while proving performance through simulation. This role offers the opportunity to directly influence the performance and reliability of innovative automation equipment from concept through virtual validation, working with cutting-edge simulation platforms in a collaborative, high-impact environment. As a Simulation Engineer, you will lead simulation-driven design and virtual validation for high-volume automation systems. You'll bridge the gap between digital models and real-world execution by leveraging discrete-event simulation, robotics modeling, and digital twins to de-risk layouts, optimize robot performance, and validate control logic before any physical hardware is built. The ideal candidate will excel in a demanding and fast-paced environment, working as part of a strong, agile team to solve complex automation challenges using first-principles analysis and aggressive design optimization.
