The clean energy and electric vehicle manufacturer, Tesla, is searching for new employees who will work at Gigafactory Berlin and Elon Musk uses Twitter as the headhunting application. The job opening is mostly for engineers of different kinds as it was not specified in the CEO's tweet.

What Does Tesla Look for in an Employee?-Giga Berlin's Requirement

Several hours after the tweet that launched a global hunt for new Giga Berlin employees, Elon Musk follows up with a new revelation of what is needed to highlight on the job application that would be sent to Tesla. The electric vehicle company seems to be in a rush to find an employee as the CEO himself would screen and interview potential candidates.

According to Elon Musk's official Twitter account (@elonmusk), Tesla needs "problem solvers" for the engineer positions that are opening up for the Gigafactory. This announcement may seem vague for several people, but Musk wants someone with a practical and hands-on experience in handling engineering-related problems.

Elon Musk is searching for a "problem solver" that has a tremendous experience in resolving an issue within one's previous experience to join the fleet and be sent out to Germany. The job search is open for everyone and would only need to submit a resume to "25Guns@Tesla.com."

Tesla's CEO asks applicants to highlight the most challenging experiences that one encountered and how they managed to solve it. From this alone, screening would be rigid as the evaluation's criteria add another to the "engineer" qualification.

School Background & Engineering Specialty Won't Matter-Problem-Solving Experience Needed

Tesla fan, Pranay Pathole (@PPathole), asks Elon Musk whether it would be open for all roles or would the job opportunity be specific on an engineering discipline. Here, Elon Musk answered that those would not matter, along with school backgrounds and even if they did go to school or not.

How about International Applicants?

The CEO did not clarify if there would be international openings for foreign citizens, but the online application is available for anyone with the experience. However, most Americans would benefit since the interview would be on-site. It is not yet clear whether the CEO would recruit internationally and interview via video conferencing.

No news regarding the progress of Europe's first Tesla plant, the Gigafactory Berlin, was released or shared by Tesla and its CEO publicly. The urgent hiring and fast-paced interview selection process signify that Tesla's Europe factory may be facing trouble.

Tesla revealed nothing about any problems in the Giga Berlin; However, the job opening for an engineer and a problem solver may face something the company is keeping secret in the Europe plant.
