What to Expect
Join us and build the 3D experiences that bring Tesla's energy products to life. We're looking for creative 3D generalists to join our team and help shape how millions of Tesla Solar and Powerwall owners understand and interact with their energy systems through the Tesla app.
You'll join the Tesla App Energy Team to build real-time 3D visualizations and vehicle integrations using Blender, Unreal Engine, and React Native. We produce Tesla Recharged, our visual-heavy end-of-year personalized data story that helps users understand the value of their energy system, and we create assets for special marketing campaigns. On the product side, we build 3D experiences that use the real world as input — for example, the home screen of the app for Solar and Powerwall draws wires on a 3D home to show the flow of power, like Solar exporting to the grid.
The Tesla App is used by everyone who interacts with Tesla products — from Solar and Powerwall owners managing their home energy systems to drivers monitoring their vehicles.
