Tesla's Layoffs and Recruitment Updates
TapTechNews June 13th news, Tesla's chief executive Elon Musk had previously announced through an internal email to lay off more than 10% of the employees. He wrote in the email: This is not what I want to see, but it has to be done. This will enable us to streamline the structure, maintain innovation and maintain momentum in the next growth cycle.
Shortly after announcing the layoff of about 20,000 employees, the recruitment of Tesla worldwide also froze. The recruitment page on Tesla's official website, which originally had thousands of recruitment positions, was almost blank, leaving only the job information of three training programs.
However, as Tesla turns its attention to future fields such as self-driving taxis and artificial intelligence, and continues to advance the passenger car business, hundreds of jobs are reopened. Currently, most of the vacant positions on Tesla's official website recruitment page are concentrated in service advisors and repair technicians.
In addition, Tesla's large lithium refinery located in the Corpus Christi area of Texas is also recruiting chemical operators. By carefully looking at the descriptions of some battery-related positions, it can be found that Tesla is committed to the research and development of battery technology. Currently, the company has opened R & D positions in multiple fields such as battery material engineering, abuse testing and engineering, and high-voltage abuse testing.
Tesla's humanoid robot department, TeslaBot, has also released dozens of high-paying jobs. This department is responsible for fine-tuning the fully autonomous driving (FSD) software and enhancing the capabilities of the humanoid robot. At the same time, Tesla has also opened positions in multiple fields such as manufacturing, law, operations, and software.
However, as of the time TapTechNews released this article, Tesla's charging department has not issued any recruitment information. In the layoffs in April and May this year, the 500 Supercharger team that helped Tesla build the charging network was also included, and some of these employees were later rehired.
