Tesla Begins Recruiting Robotics Engineers From Mexico Instead Of US
Tesla Inc is recruiting engineers from Mexico to work on robotics and other automated equipment at its California factory, according to LinkedIn postings viewed by Reuters, part of a hiring push to ready the plant for mass production of the upcoming Model 3.

The electric vehicle maker, which prides itself on its "Made in America" credentials, aims to build 500,000 cars a year by 2018 at its plant in Fremont, California, south of San Francisco. That would be a six-fold increase from 2016.

A recruiting poster published on LinkedIn by Tesla's senior technical recruiter, David Johnson, listed 15 types of engineers the company would be seeking at a May 5-8 recruiting event in Monterrey, Mexico.

Don't you read the articles before you post them with such false indignation? What about this part of the article posted below didn't you understand? If you're going to be political on an automotive website, get your facts correct and change the headline. There is no "instead"..

"Tesla has been actively hiring in the past few months for assembly-line jobs at the Fremont plant. But finding manufacturing engineers, who are in even shorter supply than software engineers in Silicon Valley, is a tougher challenge.

Doug Patton, president of SAE International, a professional association of automotive engineers headquartered in Pennsylvania, said Tesla's search for engineers in Mexico underscored a dearth of talent in the industry.

"There are many more jobs than engineers, this is an engineering problem across the board," he said."

And PS..the original Reuters article that you used to post here doesn't even say "instead"...I guess you're an ode to your stupid president with fake news.

Hey agent 009 - On another Tesla Subject - has anyone mentioned the fact that the new Tesla model 3 has many similarities in looks to a Dodge NEON?

We have a shortage of US native Engineers because across the nation as school districts have been dominated by more conservatives they try to push more Jesus (the US-flag waving White man version) into classrooms at the direct expense of Science and Math. Indeed, religious nuts now controlling the circulum and textbooks have branded whole concepts in Science and Math (Set Theory, Infinity Flavors, Climate Change, Evolution, etc) as heretical against God. No wonder we are graduating many more Business Management, Finance, and Marketing types rather than Engineers. We as a society value these career choices over those that threaten conservative religious beliefs. it didn't used to be this way. Other countries including Mexico are passing us by since they laugh at our conservative religious nutcases and graduate engineers instead of the American-style get-rich-quick mentality careers.

Are you high??? This is the opposite of the truth: "...school districts have been dominated by more conservatives..."

School districts are dominated by the far-left-leaning, socialist-fascist NEA union that has decimated education.

Matty is too busy collecting his welfare check to be cognitive of what is really going on. Matt blames his stupidity on the school system, reality is he was born short of the necessary gray matter to complete in the real world. He was born a failure, grew up a failure and will die a failure. Sad to be poor little Matty, yappy pet chihuahua of AutoSpies.
