What to Expect
Tesla is seeking a highly motivated Production Process Engineer to contribute to the process improvement and management of new assembly lines for our advanced cell manufacturing equipment for our cutting-edge Tesla Energy Batteries. The Battery is one of the most complex and challenging components designed and manufactured at Tesla. This is an exciting opportunity to build a world-class manufacturing facility from the ground up. Tesla is a demanding and fast-paced environment where you will work on a critical subsystem of incredibly exciting products. The Production Process Engineer will also work with cross-functional teams throughout the entire lifecycle of the product and processes. They will work closely with Engineering (Design and Manufacturing), Quality and production teams to bring the new product from initial design, through prototype development and finally into full production.
What You’ll Do
Establish and develop the concept process, including estimated standard times and optimize headcount
You will be responsible for the process documentation and ensuring it is kept current like Manufacturing Instructions, Standard works documents, PFMEA, standard works, and Control Plans
Utilize SPC data and tools to characterize all equipment processes for operating limits, robustness, and action limits
Develop and enable data-driven operational and financial decisions through predictive insights into tool and process performance, including the integration of factory data systems and use of software such as MySQL, Python, R, JMP, Tableau, and Ignition
Champion continuous improvement projects and standardization to support best in class lean manufacturing systems to maximize yield, capacity, and capability
Generate and execute business improvement ideas for cost reduction, labor savings, material flow, and safety
Develop and manage Poke Yoke setup and changes within Manufacturing Execution System (MES), line side visualization to improve productivites
What You’ll Bring
Degree in Engineering, Mathematics, or Physical Science or equivalent experience
