What to Expect
Tesla Vehicle Manufacturing Engineering is looking for a highly motivated joining engineer to create, develop and scale up joining processes for new programs. This role requires to work closely with Design Engineering to take joining process designs and implement design changes. It also requires working closely with cross-functional teams including internal and external to develop new joining setup, conduct equipment validation and launch the line from initial concept through prototype development and into full production.
What You'll Do
Collaborate closely with Structures Design Engineering and CAE Engineering to support Design for Manufacturability (DFM) in future programs early in the design phase
This role will be involved in the design, development, commissioning and ramping of automated joining equipment, while working in a cross-functional team to test, validate, and roll-out process and product design changes
Plan and execute DoEs to characterize boundary conditions and optimize process for the joining manufacturability and quality
Drive cell reviews of process design, fixture design, simulations, cycle time plan, line layout, equipment maintenance strategy and optimizing towards high-speed limits
During launch, this role will lead equipment 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 within project budgets
Take direct responsibility for achieving joining quality targets and lead all activities towards this objective including the development of quality control plans, PFMEA and dimensional improvement plans
Collect and prepare the final documentation handover package to ensure the long-term sustainability and optimization of new production lines
What You'll Bring
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Welding Engineering, Materials Engineering, or equivalent experience
Experience of developing and launching welding and mechanical joining processes in automotive or electronics industries
In-depth understanding and knowledge of welding, mechanical joining process, equipment, and metallurgy
Able to function independently, be a strong collaborator when working in a team, detail oriented, organized, hands-on and able to make strong decisions
Remain engaged, initiative-taking, positive in tough circumstances, owning assignments and taking full accountability for their success
Extensive proficiency creating written and pictorial documentation of manufacturing processes
Collect, analyze, and summarize information to a general understanding, thinking abstractly and separating complex ideas into simple elements
Mastery of Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, experienced with AUTOCAD, CATIA 3DX and other similar software/tools
