What to Expect
Manufacturing Engineers will develop world-class equipment and processes, working with cross-functional teams throughout the entire product launch lifecycle from design to full production ramp. This role requires a highly driven Engineer to work closely with Design Engineering, Quality, Production, Maintenance and External Vendors to take new vehicle designs from initial concept through prototype development and into high-volume production.
What You'll Do
Collaborate closely with Design Engineering to develop products that lend themselves to streamlined and robust manufacturing methods with industry-best safety, quality, rate and cost
Support Tesla's factory and facility teams to develop highly-efficient and optimized factory-level layouts
Take direct responsibility for exceeding market-leading dimensional quality and lead all activities towards this objective including the development of GD&T strategies, quality control plans and dimensional improvement plans
Lead the development of innovative and robust tooling design to achieve the process plan and GD&T strategy, working closely with Tesla's partner vendors to buy-off and deliver the final product
Drive the continued improvement of early project planning documents such as project timelines, Requests for Quotations, FMEA's and Safety Risk Assessments
Lead the development and introduction of processes and equipment associated with early prototype builds and highlighting key process and equipment improvement opportunities throughout the prototype builds themselves
Work closely with Tesla's partner vendors to develop world-class production lines with unprecedented simplicity, density, speed, and automation
Lead the installation, commissioning, and ramp of high-volume production lines, ensuring close collaboration with Tesla's partner vendors to deliver the line in the shortest possible time and lowest possible cost
Initiate and drive strategies to rapidly ramp the quality and rate of newly launched production lines to full capacity with a focus on maintaining the highest of safety standards throughout the ramp duration
Build on the success of existing line layouts, processes, and tooling to further improve material flow, waste reduction, safety, and ergonomics by utilizing lean manufacturing best practices and structured problem-solving methodologies
What You'll Bring
B.S. in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Electrical Engineering; or equivalent experience
5+ years of related experience developing and launching complex assembly processes
A can-do' attitude with open mindedness and a strong desire to think outside the box'
A proven track record of taking initiative, managing competing demands, collaborating closely with others, and remaining positive in high-pressure environments
A demonstrated ability to be detail-oriented and make data-based decisions, owning assignments and taking full accountability for their successful and timely delivery
Flexibility and adaptability to changing priorities and assignments, coping with rapidly changing inputs, constraints, and priorities
Strong familiarity with structured problem-solving methodologies such as DMAIC, 5 Whys, Fishbone, and 8D
Extensive hands-on experience with modifying jigs, fixtures, and coordinating equipment installations.
Strong understanding of BOMs, OEE, manufacturability, DFM, process design, process validation, assembly methods, design reviews and cost reduction methodologies
Experience with AUTOCAD, CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, and other similar software/tools
