What To Expect Tesla is seeking a highly motivated, strategic, and forward-thinking Staff Equipment Engineer to help define and execute the future of high-volume cell manufacturing. In this role, you will be instrumental in creating, developing, and scaling advanced manufacturing systems that support the production of Tesla’s next generation battery cell technologies. This is not just an engineering role, it’s a technical strategic leadership opportunity to drive the end to end equipment strategy for some of the most innovative and pioneering energy storage technologies in the world. Lead the design, development, and optimization of advanced manufacturing equipment for cutting edge battery cell production lines. Drive long term equipment strategy and architecture, influencing the scalability, flexibility, and reliability of Tesla’s core cell technologies. Collaborate cross-functionally with Design, Process, Production, and Controls teams to ensure seamless transition from cell concept to mass production. Work with global OEM and automation partners to deliver high performance manufacturing tools that meet Tesla’s aggressive quality, speed, and cost targets. Manage and develop engineers, creating a strong technical culture of ownership, collaboration, and innovation. Provide technical direction and mentorship to cross-functional teams. Champion bold ideas and breakthrough approaches to push the limits of what’s possible in battery cell manufacturing.
What You’ll Do
Develop advanced safety solutions & systems, mentor others, and drive long term safety culture in compliance with OSHA, ISO, TUV, NFPA-70E and IEC.
Expert in designing and implementing programs for entire industrial systems, integrating advanced algorithms, data logging, and optimization techniques to improve cycle times and efficiency, proficient in Siemens & Omron.
Lead the design and development of integrated robotic systems (FANUC/KUKA/Epson/Omron) with advanced PLCs, real-time data feedback, and error-proofing mechanisms, expert for PLC motion control and integration for high speed applications.
Lead the design and integration, calibration and troubleshooting of sophisticated vision systems in multi step high precision processes, proficient with Keyence and Cognex.
Skilled at optimizing pneumatic/mechanical/electrical systems performance, identifying inefficiencies, ensuring reliability and safety under varying conditions (proficient in Bluebeam/AutoCAD/Eplan). Able to manage, develop, coordinate and train maintenance programs.
Lead cross functional projects RCA, OCAPs, NPI, CAPA, to improve process/product efficiency, integrating automation and predictive analytics. Knowledgeable on SPC, capability analysis, quality improvement methods (DMAIC, 8D), process change management and process control (PFMEA, DFMEA, Risk Assessments).
Lead with authority and influence, consistently demonstrating dependability and fostering an environment of collaboration across team networks. Demonstrated experience leading mid large multidisciplinary teams, mentoring others and creating company wide positive impacts.
Understands Agile methodologies, OKRs, and management of high performing teams. Able to manage 24/7 sustaining operations. Demonstrates ability to consistently improve/optimise operations regarding safety-people-accuracy-rate-cost.
