Sr. Process Engineer, Body in White, Semi What To Expect A Process Engineer will implement, develop, and optimize production methodologies in the Body in White manufacturing operations of Tesla. This Engineer will be responsible for OEE and drive process optimization that may include tool/fixture selection, line layouts, ergonomic study, material presentation, and other relevant factors. They will interface with Design, Test, and Quality Engineering to solve problems, improve manufacturability, and implement continual improvement. They will sustain production lines with cost reduction and yield improvements.

What You’ll Do

Develop production lines from pilot stage to full scale production working with vendors and manufacturing engineering to transfer knowledge for sustaining the production lines

Perform process analysis, DOE (design of experiments), PFMEA, line balancing activities, and capacity modeling. Provide DFM (design for manufacturability) input to design team for process and yield improvements

Develop and modify line and workstation layouts, including material flow, waste reduction, and ergonomics, utilizing Lean Manufacturing best practices

Analyze and optimize production processes to ensure safety while maximizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in cost effective means while driving to achieve world-class quality levels. Champion continuous improvement projects (CIP) to maximize yield, capacity, and capability

Responsible for diagnosing issues found during the part manufacturing process and drive corrective action back to source, resulting in root cause identification and elimination. Utilize structured problem-solving techniques such as DMAIC, Ishikawa, Five Why (5W) and Eight Disciplines (8D)

Analyze data from various sources to identify trends in build quality and efficiency. Develop robust and clear data collection, visualization, and analysis tools. Enable data driven operational and financial decisions through predictive insights into tool and process performance, including integration of factory data systems and use of software such as MySQL, Python, R, JMP, Minitab, Tableau and Ignition

Perform supporting activities for Engineering and Manufacturing including 5S and Lean manufacturing activities, material handling improvements, production line configuration, and safety procedures

Monitor and reduce process variation using techniques such as Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA). Monitor and audit manufacturing processes to ensure product specifications and standards are achieved. Participate in the development and maintenance of FMEAs and Control Plans. Analyze, develop, process, and implement Engineering Change Orders

Create and maintain Manufacturing Instructions, routings, and associated processes. Develop and train Sustaining Technicians, assist in the training of Operators as needed. Manage activities for Process Sustaining Technicians to support day to day coverage of production line, including developing and documenting appropriate rework procedures

Support 24 by 7 production operations

What You’ll Bring

Degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physical Science, or equivalent experience

Experience leading large projects with direct or in-direct reports in a manufacturing setting and 5+ years working in a body in white manufacturing environment

Experience with MIG & spot welding, bolting, and riveting joints

Experience developing and improving process. Have a demonstrated track record of Overall Equipment Effectiveness improvement activities

Good understanding of Bill of Materials, Manufacturing Execution System, Specification Management, Change Point Management

Data analysis experience using tools like MySQL, Python, R, JMP, Minitab. Ability to develop data driven root cause analyses and solutions

Strong problem-solving skills and an aptitude for learning systems quickly. Able to utilize structured problem-solving techniques such as DMAIC, Ishikawa, Five Why (5W) or Eight Disciplines (8D). Able to resolve high level performance issues into addressable actions

Exceptional capacity for managing simultaneous activities, competing priorities and challenges

Strong ability to work and communicate effectively with team and peers within a Manufacturing and Engineering organization. This includes excellent communication skills: written and verbal

Creative capacity for developing new ways to do things better, cheaper, faster in alignment with the Tesla approach to revolutionary product development
