Hi all,
I hope this thread may support networking amongst those of us looking for jobs at TESLA and those already working there.
I myself have recently applied to several posts in Amsterdam and London, and even to one in Palo Alto last year.

As you may note from my linkedin profile (es.linkedin.com/pub/francisco-javier-fernández-plaza/4/8a/11/) I have no direct experience in the automotive industry, though I can humbly say that I am well stablished Project Manager within Europe's collaborative procurement of military aircraft, and trust that such experience may be eventually transpose into wherever TESLA thinks I can bring the greatest added value.

Currently living in Madrid (Spain), the wife and I are more than happy to relocate, and are both really looking to contribute to making this planet a better place for us all, and those who follow.

Kind regards,

Javier

As a fellow Spaniard (originally from Madrid too actually, we even share a first name :) who was able to come to California and eventually land my dream job here (not at Tesla, although that would be wonderful too) I can totally relate, and while it's certainly not easy at all to get hired all the way from across the pond and going through all the immigration madness over here, I can say that perseverance and hard work go a long way towards making that particular dream a reality, so best of luck to you!

If you have any questions about this stuff btw don't hesitate to send me a PM.
 
Thanks blaz for the moral support and kind words!:wink:

I've made my mind up about wanting to work at TESLA because I love cars, I love the idea of contributing to personal transportation electrification helping to make this planet a cleaner one, I love the battle that TESLA is starting with "traditional" car manufacturers, and because from a distance it really seems that TESLA is doing things really well and is a great place to wake-up to go to.

On the contrary I have not yet made up my mind about where to do this at. I never got to visit California whilst at school in Florida (EMBRY-RIDDLE Aeronautical University), but I only hear good things (forest fires and earthquakes aside) :tongue:. It would seem to have many things in common with Spain: the sun, the beaches, the wine, many spanish speaking people...
We are however starting to think that we need to set-up a "home base" in which to settle and let our children grow (we have a 3-year old girl and a boy expected for end September), and many of the TESLA locations would seem like perfect places to do this in... I guess we still have to do some thinking before we can better focus our energies towards a particular place, and hence that any additional comment and/or advise would again be much appreciated.

Again thanks a lot for the kind words and the offered support.
Best regards,

Javier
