Overview
- Tesla listed a Fremont-based Manufacturing Engineer position explicitly for the next-generation Roadster focused on developing and launching battery manufacturing equipment.
- The job description covers taking new battery products and architectures from early concept through equipment launch, cross-site collaboration, factory acceptance testing, and travel under 50 percent.
- Reporters note this is the first public Roadster-specific hiring and interpret it as an early manufacturing signal rather than evidence of imminent production.
- Tesla executives recently said an unveiling is planned this year and Elon Musk teased an end-of-year demo at the Design Studio, but neither event has been formally announced.
- Tesla’s latest production capacity chart still places the Roadster in “design development” with its production location to be determined, following years of delays since its 2018 unveiling.
