Tesla, the US-based electric vehicle (EV) giant founded by Elon Musk, has intensified its hiring efforts in India with a new job listing for a PCB Design Engineer – Electronic Systems in Pune, Maharashtra. This follows recent job postings in Mumbai and Delhi, reinforcing Tesla’s plans to establish a retail and operational presence in the country.
The latest job opening seeks a candidate experienced in designing high-speed printed circuit boards (PCBs) and implementing effective design practices for mass production. This move aligns with Tesla’s broader strategy to set up operations in India, which gained momentum after Musk’s meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his US visit.
Tesla’s India Expansion Plans
Tesla has reportedly secured locations for its showrooms in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and New Delhi’s Aerocity. The company aims to start retail operations in India by April 2025, catering to the increasing demand for EVs in the country.
While Tesla’s initial focus appears to be on hiring for design and engineering roles, industry experts anticipate further job postings for sales, service, and operational roles as the company scales up its presence in India.
India’s Growing EV Market
India is emerging as a significant market for electric vehicles, with government incentives and policies encouraging EV adoption. Tesla’s entry is expected to accelerate competition in the premium EV segment, where it will compete with domestic and global players such as Tata Motors, MG Motor, and Hyundai.
With new job openings and strategic location choices, Tesla’s expansion in India seems well underway, setting the stage for a highly anticipated market debut.
