About This Automobile Mechatronics Apprenticeship Job in Cham
Every Tesla Service Center depends on a small crew of technicians and advisors who actually touch the cars and talk to the customers — this role is one of those seats. Tesla has an opening for a Ausbildung zum Automobil-Mechatroniker EFZ System- und Hochvolttechnik (m/w/d) – Cham based in Cham, working within its Vehicle Service function.
A formal Swiss vocational apprenticeship (Ausbildung) rather than a standard job. Successful trainees learn vehicle mechanics, electrics and high-voltage systems directly from Tesla’s own training staff, with the programme starting August 2027. Applicants must submit their CV, cover letter, school records and AGVS test as a single PDF.
Cham, in the canton of Zug, is home to one of Tesla’s Swiss apprenticeship and service locations.
What the Role Involves
Learn vehicle technology fundamentals: mechanics, electrics and electronics.
Study high-voltage systems and electric motor technology specific to Tesla vehicles.
Learn to use Tesla’s diagnostic and measurement systems, including remote diagnostics used for the majority of fault-finding.
Learn vehicle electronics repair, maintenance and servicing.
Work on the vehicle’s onboard digital network and install approved accessories or special equipment.
What Tesla Is Looking For
Practical, hands-on aptitude for technical work.
Genuine interest in an innovative, fast-changing technical environment.
A qualifying secondary/district school leaving certificate (Sekundar- or Bezirksschule).
Fluent German and good English.
A motivated, positive attitude toward learning on the job.
This posting is aimed at the Swiss/German market — fluent German is required, alongside a working level of English.
Compensation & Benefits
Tesla did not publish a specific salary figure for this role at the time of writing. Compensation is typically discussed directly with candidates during the interview process and will depend on experience and location. Tesla’s standard European benefits generally include a mix of stock-based reward (RSUs or an employee stock purchase option), structured training, and site-specific benefits. Always confirm the exact package for this role directly with Tesla during the application process.
Our Take
This is a site-based, hands-on role rather than a remote or purely strategic one — worth keeping in mind if you’re weighing it against other options.
EU Job Hub Guidance: Automobile Mechatronics apprenticeship in Cham
This is a vocational apprenticeship, called a Lehre in German. In Switzerland, apprentices work in a company and attend a vocational school at the same time. The EFZ is the federal certificate you earn at the end. Employers look for interest in cars, electrics and careful work. Good school marks in maths and science help. Send a tidy application with a short cover letter and, if you have them, school reports and references.
Application and interview checklist
Explain why you want to learn this trade and why electric cars.
Bring your latest school reports to the interview.
Be ready for a short practical test or a trial day, which is common for Swiss apprenticeships.
Ask how the school days and the workshop days are split.
Ask what the pay and the holidays are for each year of training.
Before you move or commute
Cham is in the canton of Zug in central Switzerland. Apprenticeship rules, pay and school attendance are set by the canton and the training profession. The official Swiss pages on vocational education explain the system in several languages. Applicants who do not live in Switzerland should check which residence rules apply before they apply.
How to prepare your application
Swiss employers like a complete and tidy file. Include a short letter, a CV with a clear timeline and copies of school reports. If you did a trial day or a school placement in a garage, add the name of the contact person. Write in clear, simple German and have someone check your spelling. Keep every sentence short and honest. A mistake in a name or a date can leave a poor first impression.
Think about the questions you will ask. You can ask which tools you will use in the first year and who your trainer will be. You can also ask what the school timetable looks like. Parents or guardians can often join early talks if you are under 18, so ask the employer how they handle this. Practise your answers aloud before the interview, so you speak calmly on the day.
