Tesla Motors, Inc.
What to Expect
Tesla is looking for a highly motivated process engineer to create, develop and scale up manufacturing processes for our cutting-edge Tesla battery cell manufacturing line. This role will invent, develop, scale up and optimize battery manufacturing processes within a cross-functional engineering team responsible for the development lifecycle and launch into manufacturing. In this role, you will work closely with many organizations both internal and external to Tesla taking new battery designs from initial concept through into full production. The battery cell is a critical component in Tesla vehicles and storage systems. This role will have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to our products. The work environment is demanding, fast paced and incredibly exciting. The ideal candidate should be ready to push their limits, as they join in highly motivated and capable team to make unbelievable things into reality.
What You'll Do
Drive development of new/innovative manufacturing processes from proof of concept through to full scale production that enable improved battery performance and/or cost
Characterize existing processes, establish controls for critical parameters, improve process robustness
Execute DoEs to optimize process conditions
Drive process commissioning on new production lines
Work collaboratively with cross functional teams
Establish process controls for SPC and develop process related OCAPs
Develop and manage PFMEA risk assessments to prioritize process improvement projects and ensure adequate metrology and controls are in place
Debug process integration issues to ensure interactions between processes are kept under control
Build process documentation to accurately define the process to cross-functional teams (equipment, quality, production, etc.)
What You'll Bring
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experience
3+ years of experience in process development, manufacturing engineering, or similar
Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals and ability to apply them towards manufacturing process development
Proven problem solver - demonstrated experience of data driven root cause analysis, statistical software (JMP) a plus
Demonstrated capabilities in manufacturing process development for new and unique products
Experience in high volume manufacturing involving one or more of these areas is highly desired: Roll to roll coating processes, continuous wet deposition processes, dry powder handling and processing, automated mechanical assembly, power electronics, Industrial chemical processing, battery manufacturing (li-ion or other chemistry), industrial laser processing, long-term reliability testing
Compensation and Benefits Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:
