Tesla has advertised a senior electrical design engineer position at Gigafactory Berlin, marking the first such Cybercab-related hardware role in Europe. The role focuses on developing circuit boards for autonomous robotaxi vehicles. The job posting highlights work on low-voltage hardware systems.

Tesla recently posted a job opening for a senior electrical design engineer at Gigafactory Berlin, described as the first Cybercab-related hardware engineering role in Europe. The position involves working on circuit boards for Tesla's autonomous robotaxi vehicles, specifically within the Low Voltage Hardware team.

According to the job description, the team 'designs circuit boards which control hundreds of devices (motors, actuators, sensors, LEDs, etc) across all electrical systems (steering, seats, doors, HVAC, safety, chassis, lighting, etc) in Tesla’s autonomous robotaxi vehicles.' This role is based near Gigafactory Berlin, Tesla's European manufacturing hub.

The announcement was first noted on March 4, 2026, via a post by Sawyer Merritt on X, stating: 'NEWS: Tesla is looking to hire an Electrical Design Engineer at Giga Berlin for Robotaxi Autonomous Vehicles.' An article on Electric-Vehicles.com echoed this, emphasizing the posting's significance as the initial European hire for Cybercab hardware engineering.

This development signals Tesla's expansion of robotaxi production capabilities in Europe, building on its existing operations at Giga Berlin. No further details on the hiring timeline or additional roles were provided in the sources.

Victor Nechita, Tesla's vehicle program manager for the Cybercab, has left the company after nearly nine years, just days after the first production unit rolled off the line at Gigafactory Texas. Nechita, who joined as a Model 3 intern in 2017, led the Cybercab from concept to initial production. His departure adds to a series of senior executive exits at Tesla amid preparations for volume production in April.

In a video interview with Giga Berlin plant manager André Thierig, Tesla CEO Elon Musk detailed expansions including battery production, Cybercab robotaxis, Semi trucks, and Optimus robots—but warned plans depend on the factory avoiding IG Metall influence in upcoming works council elections, amid production drops and slumping European sales. He assured the site would not close.

Tesla has produced its first Cybercab, a steering wheel-less autonomous vehicle, at Gigafactory Texas. The company shared a photo of the milestone on X, with volume production planned for April 2026. The Cybercab is designed exclusively for robotaxi service, raising questions about the readiness of Tesla's self-driving technology.

Tesla executives detailed during their Q4 and FY 2025 earnings call how the company plans a comprehensive robotaxi service that accommodates various passenger needs without relying solely on the two-seater Cybercab. The service will leverage the Cybercab for most trips, supplemented by Model Y vehicles and the Robovan for larger groups. Production of the autonomous Cybercab is set to begin in April 2026.
