What to Expect The role requires development and definition of manufacturing processes, process flow and layout definition, product DFM (Design for Manufacturability), etc. Manufacturing Engineers work with cross-functional teams on the definition of processes that can satisfy the needs for every party involved on the development and implementation of new products. This role requires a hands-on Engineer to work closely with Design Engineering, Quality, Production, Maintenance, Sustaining and External Vendors to take vehicle design changes and new vehicle designs from initial concept through prototype development and into full production.
What You'll Do
- Collaborate closely with Design Engineering to drive Design for Manufacturability early in the design phase
- Develop process designs that form the basis of high-volume production lines and support Tesla's industry-leading dimensional quality of the vehicles produced
- Drive tooling design and development in accordance with the process plan and GD&T strategy, working closely with Tesla's partner vendors to buy-off and deliver the final product
- Participate in the development and review of early project planning documents such as project timelines, Requests for Quotations, FMEA's and Safety Risk Assessments
- Lead the development and introduction of processes and equipment associated with early prototype builds and highlighting key process and equipment improvement opportunities throughout the prototype builds themselves
- Arrange and participate in line design reviews of robot and tooling simulations, cycle time plans, and general line layout, driving optimization towards fundamental engineering limits
- Lead the installation, commissioning, and ramp of high-volume production lines, ensuring close collaboration with Tesla's partner vendors to deliver the line in the shortest possible timing and within project budgets
