The Product Design Integration team at Tesla is involved from the earliest stages to establish the product architecture and layout with consideration for all product level attributes (styling, cost, mass, manufacturability, performance, service, NVH, reliability, etc.). The team works on all Tesla programs, including Model S, X, 3, Y, Cybertruck, Tesla Semi, Tesla Energy products and future projects.
The team works with design engineering, styling, and manufacturing teams to develop compatible designs while ensuring product level attributes are optimized. As the design matures, the team builds physical representations of the product to validate key decisions and further refine the design the prior to tooling and manufacture.
