If you're looking for a job in the auto industry, head to [Tesla's careers site](<https://chc.tbe.taleo.net/chc01/ats/careers/searchResults.jsp?org=TESLA&cws=1&act=prev&rowFrom=100>), because the [EV](<https://www.autoblog.com/electric/>) maker is on a hiring binge at the moment. Its list currently shows 1,649 open positions worldwide, so you don't even need to relocate to the company's California headquarters. [Tesla](<https://www.autoblog.com/tesla/>) is hiring folks at [dealers](<https://www.autoblog.com/car-dealers/>) across the country, vehicle technicians in Norway, and sales advisors in France and Germany.

Tesla also wants several more engineers for its Autopilot semi-autonomous driving tech, which would offer the chance to meet company boss [Elon Musk](<https://www.autoblog.com/tag/elon+musk/>). In a series of tweets, Musk said these new workers [don't necessarily need automotive experience](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/667517215390863360>), and he would [interview the prospective employees](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/667519445414252544>) personally. In December, the team lost an important member when [Google hired away program leader](<https://www.autoblog.com/2015/12/02/google-hires-the-lead-for-teslas-semi-autonomous-driving-tech/>) Robert Rose.

Even with the huge number of available positions, actually getting a job at Tesla isn't easy. "In the last 14 months we've had 1.5 million applications from around the world," company vice president of human resources Arnnon Geshuri told [*Bloomberg*](<https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-12-07/tesla-s-1-656-job-openings-underpin-quest-to-become-profitable>). Once a person is there, [the work environment](<https://www.autoblog.com/2015/08/25/working-at-tesla-let-this-female-engineer-be-herself/>) is reported to be quite rewarding.

Tesla now employs over 14,000 people, according to *Bloomberg*, and this latest hiring binge is a byproduct of its continued growth. The company wants to deliver 50,000 vehicles by the end of the 2015, but reports suggest the brand [might miss those targets](<https://www.autoblog.com/2015/11/25/tesla-unlikely-to-reach-2015-delivery-target-of-50-000-evs/>). However, the company still looks to expand in the near future with [the Model 3 in 2017](<https://www.autoblog.com/2015/12/03/esla-model-3-rendering/>) and ongoing construction of the [Gigafactory](<https://www.autoblog.com/tag/gigafactory/>) battery plant.
