![]() Team consists of Test Engineers and Engineering Technicians, specializing in Vehicle & Mechanical, Instrumentation & ATD (Anthropomorphic Test Devices, or crash test dummies), and Imaging. The Passive Safety Crash & Sled Test team is responsible for executing, analyzing, and reporting on crash and sled tests within required program timelines, primarily focusing on vehicle development, regulatory certification, and consumer protection crash testing. The automaker wrote in the job description: Tesla is listing a job for an “Engineering Technician, Passive Safety Crash Test Lab” role. Y’all asked for it. Tesla provided! Tesla is building a Crash Test Lab in Austin, TX! We are hiring Engineering Technicians to support the crash test lab. A Tesla recruiter wrote in LinkedIn last week: Now we learn that Tesla is building a new crash test lab in Austin. The automaker would use its crash test lab in California to test its results. Recently, Tesla has explained how it is using the fact that its vehicles are highly connected to collect an incredible amount of real-world crash data and use that to improve its safety in crashes. ![]() However, there’s an argument to be made that Tesla’s passive safety is even more impressive. Tesla has made some advancements on the active safety side of things, and that’s what is mostly talked about in the media through Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Beta. Since then, virtually all Tesla vehicles have achieved similar industry-leading safety ratings. The Model 3 has won several other safety plaudits, including five-star ratings in all categories and the lowest probability of injury ever tested from NHTSA, five stars from Euro NCAP while being hailed as setting a “new safety technology benchmark,” and five stars from the Australiasian NCAP. When designing and engineering a new vehicle, the priority is (or should be) safety, and Tesla has surprised many on that front over the years. ![]() The capacity to produce electric vehicles en masse profitably is the only way Tesla gained credibility within the auto industry. It took a while for Tesla to get credibility in the auto industry, and while it still has naysayers, it has made itself undeniable by profitably establishing the capacity to produce 2 million electric vehicles. Tesla confirmed that it is building a new crash test lab in Austin to further improve the passive safety of its electric vehicles.
