Manufacturing Engineer, Energy Products

What to Expect

Tesla Manufacturing Engineers have the important role of designing "The machine that builds the machine". We work with the cross-functional teams (Design, Quality, Production, Sustaining, and Supply Chain) throughout the entire lifecycle of a product (from initial design through prototype development and into full production) to develop high quality and efficient manufacturing equipment and processes that will producebattery modules for Tesla's cutting-edge power electronics.

What You'll Do

Develop manufacturing equipment and fixtures to support early-stage prototype builds

Determine and procure equipment that is necessary for all manufacturing processes used to build the product

Work with equipment integrators to design and manufacture equipment and fixtures for medium to high-volume production

Manage suppliers during specification, design, buyoff and installation of manufacturing equipment

Characterize and validate new equipment and fixtures for introduction to the production floor

Develop new manufacturing processes

Determine layout of production workstations for product flow, ergonomics, and efficiency

Perform process analysis, DOE, PFMEA, line balancing activities, and capacity modeling / simulation

Provide DFM (design for manufacturability) input to design team for process and yield improvements

Create detailed manufacturing instructions to train technicians and line operators on new processes and equipment

What You'll Bring

Experience as a hands-on Mechanical / Manufacturing / Design Engineer working on mechanical and / or electromechanical systems

Experience using 2D cad tools for conceptual line design (AutoCAD) and 3D design for mechanical equipment, fixturing, and tooling (SolidWorks or CATIA)

Experience with conveyance, transducer-based fastening systems (Atlas Copco preferred), robotic systems (Fanuc or Kuka preferred), adhesive dispensing, laser welding or automated functional testing

Experience creating technical specifications for automated manufacturing equipment

Experience providing Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Automation (DFA)

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
