What to Expect

Tesla’s Cell Manufacturing Electrode Vision team is looking for a highly motivated individual to technical program manage vision systems projects. This is a cross-functional role that requires coordination between many different groups within and outside of Tesla. You will interface with Factory Design, Construction, Product Design, Quality, Supply Chain, Production Engineering, and Operations to drive development and deployment plans for manufacturing vision systems in our innovative electrode area.

You will be immersed in vision engineering projects from design through install, commissioning, ramp, and handover to production. You will use your engineering background to understand the product requirements, technical risks, and validation strategy to accelerate the development and deployment process. You will communicate and present project status, highlight schedule risk, and develop recovery plans in the event of a project slip.

You will be based out of Fremont, California with opportunity for some travel to other Tesla sites and vendors.

What You’ll Do
Work with cross-functional teams such as Factory Design, Construction, Product Design, Quality, Supply Chain, Production Engineering, Operations, and other supporting functions to scope out and drive projects for deployment of vision systems for cell electrode manufacturing equipment and processes
Work with external suppliers to develop comprehensive plans, outlining strategy, scope, schedule, risks, resource requirements, cost targets
Define and drive tasks to be performed by the multiple engineering disciplines. Inform prioritization of team project work based on schedule, risk, resources, and payback. Track status of projects and action items against the schedule
Identify creative ways to overcome obstacles and meet the schedule despite setbacks
Create, maintain, communicate, and present schedules for projects to the Cell leadership team
Drive delivery of selected manufacturing project scope
What You’ll Bring
Degree in Mechanical, Electrical or Manufacturing Engineering or equivalent experience
5-10 years of experience working with design, development, installation, and ramping up of manufacturing systems, in a mix of engineering and project management roles
Demonstrated experience in the management of engineering projects for mass-produced products
Experience in project management tools, including Microsoft Project, JIRA, Confluence, and other agile project management methods
Demonstrated experience creating, maintaining, and communicating scope and schedules
Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
Proven ability to operate under pressure while managing multiple priorities simultaneously
