Tesla . What To Expect Automation Control Engineers are responsible for implementing equipment controls solutions for all cell manufacturing projects. This includes design, architecture, and implementation of automated equipment such as automated storage systems, robotics, automated case and pallet conveyance, automated guided vehicles, fixtures, etc. Controls Engineers own equipment controls standards, hardware programming, robot programming, commissioning, and review processes of the project, as well as additional functions such as auditing, installation, and safety assessment. What You'll Do Program and debug structure text and ladder logic code on multiple PLC controller platforms (B&R Automation Studio, Beckhoff TwinCAT, and Siemens TIA Portal). Develop code that is organized, structured, documented, maintainable, and reusable. Create robust programs and sequences to control complex, multi-station machinery to perform processes such as material pick and place, dispense, fastening, welding, testing, and material transport. Use Python scripting and SQL to interface equipment with Tesla Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and to collect data into production databases. Create operator touchscreen interfaces using MappView/TwinCAT HMI and SCADA dashboards using Ignition. Set up and tune servo drives and VFDs for smooth operation (Schneider, B&R, Beckhoff, Siemens, SEW). Design and implement control-safe safety systems for safeguarding robots, gantries, conveyors, and other equipment as per standards. Manage electrical cabinet builds, field wiring, pneumatic, and fluid plumbing. Participate in initial equipment conceptual development, balancing product specifications, process requirements, layout, cost, and lead-time. Manage suppliers during specification, design, buyoff, and installation of automated equipment. What You'll Bring Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Mechatronics Engineering, Computer Science, or 5+ years’ experience in Control Systems Design and Implementation. PLC experience (Siemens, Beckhoff, or B&R preferred). HMI/GUI experience (Beckhoff View, WinCC, Ignition). Proficiency in creating electrical and fluid schematics in CAD (EPLAN preferred). Structured Text (IEC 61131-3) programming skills. Benefits Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for benefits from day 1, including: Aetna PPO and HSA plans with $0 payroll deduction options.
