What to ExpectTesla Manufacturing Engineers have the important role of
designing “the machine that builds the machine”. We work with the
cross-functional teams (design, quality, production, sustaining, and supply
chain) throughout the entire lifecycle of a product (from initial design
through prototype development and into full production) to develop high quality
and efficient manufacturing equipment and processes that will
produce power electronics, thermal systems and customer facing industrial
battery storage systems.  The Staff Manufacturing Engineer, Body in White, will lead a team of engineers and work closely with cross functional stakeholders to maintain existing equipment, processes, and testers.What You’ll DoDevelop manufacturing equipment
and processes from pilot prototypes to full scale ramp Determine and procure equipment
that is necessary for all manufacturing processes used to build the
product Work with equipment integrators
to design and manufacture equipment and fixtures for medium to high-volume
production Manage suppliers during
specification, design, buyoff and installation of manufacturing equipment Characterize and validate new
equipment and fixtures for introduction to the production floorDetermine layout of production
workstations for product flow, ergonomics, and efficiency Perform process analysis, DOE (design of experiments),
PFMEA, line balancing activities, and capacity modeling/simulation Provide DFM (design for
manufacturability) input to design team for process and yield
improvements Create detailed manufacturing
instructions to train technicians and line operators on new processes and
equipment 

 What You’ll BringDegree in Mechanical,
Manufacturing, Electrical or Mechatronic Engineering, or equivalent experienceExperience leading a team of engineers in a manufacturing setting and 5+ years working in a body in white manufacturing environmentExperience with MIG & spot
welding, bolting, and riveting jointsExperience with robot
programming, backup, and restoration for FanucExperience with PLC programming
(Siemens), troubleshooting, and configurationExperience in developing
electrical schematics is a plusExperience creating technical
specifications for automated manufacturing equipment Experience introducing new
products and new processes from a prototype environment to a production
environment Experience providing design for manufacturability and automation with experience designing production line
layouts in AutoCAD Proficiency designing
mechanical equipment, fixturing, and tooling in CAD (SolidWorks or CATIA)
