Tesla has posted the first Cybercab-related hardware engineering role in Europe, seeking a senior electrical design engineer to work on circuit boards for its autonomous model.
The listing, first reported on Wednesday by X user ‘Efieber_Andre’, is for a Senior Electrical Design Engineer, Robotaxi Autonomous Vehicles, based in Kreisfreie Stadt Berlin.
The new role comes as the Elon Musk-led company continues increasing pre-production of the Cybercab at its Giga Texas facility after the first unit rolled off the production line in mid-February.
“The Low Voltage Hardware team at Tesla 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,” the listing states.
The role involves start-to-finish hardware ownership covering specification, architecture, design, simulation, schematic, layout supervision, manufacturing, bringup and validation of circuit boards, according to the posting.
The engineer will collaborate with PCB layout, firmware, mechanical, program management and validation teams.
First Hardware Role
All previous Cybercab manufacturing and hardware engineering roles were based at Gigafactory Texas in Austin, where Tesla produced the first Cybercab unit and where volume production is scheduled to begin in April.
A similar circuit board design role — described as working on the “nervous system” of the Robotaxi — was posted in Shanghai in December, making that listing the first outside the United States.
The Berlin posting is the first such role in Europe.
Previous Robotaxi-related positions on the continent were limited to Vehicle Operator roles for Full Self-Driving data collection in Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden and the Netherlands — not hardware engineering for the Cybercab model itself.
Musk’s Berlin Vision
The listing comes less than a week after CEO Elon Musk identified the Cybercab as the most likely next major product for Gigafactory Berlin.
“From a next major product standpoint, I think most likely is the Tesla Cybercab,” Musk said in an interview with plant senior director André Thierig posted on X by the Tesla Manufacturing account late last week.
He added that there are also “possibilities of Tesla Optimus” being produced at the facility.
The remarks were made amid works council election at the Berlin plant held between Monday and Wednesday (March 4), during which Musk warned that expansion would not proceed if “outside organizations” gained influence at the site — a reference to German union IG Metall’s push to control the factory’s works council.
Cybercab Production
Tesla produced its first Cybercab at Giga Texas, though the program manager reportedly departed the day after the initial unit rolled off the line.
Volume production is scheduled to begin in April, with Musk targeting a consumer version priced under $30,000 by 2027.
