About the Job

Requirements

At least 5 years of engineering or equivalent relevant experience, with demonstrated ownership of high-volume manufacturing processes.
Hands-on experience deploying and sustaining dispense and structural joining processes at volume, including adhesives, potting, sealants, form-in-place gaskets, curing, product interfaces, materials, process windows, and automation equipment.
Experience writing equipment specifications, running design reviews, and accepting automation that must meet process capability, quality, and cycle time requirements.
Proven root-cause and process-optimization skills, including closing yield loss, cycle time, and production issues with designed experiments, capability data, and line-side problem solving.
Proficiency in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) and experimental design.
A degree in Engineering or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

Collaborate closely with the process development team to deploy and scale highly automated dispense processes from prototype to stable and fully validated.
Guide cross-functional down-selection of equipment, tooling, and process parameters with Development, Equipment, Quality, and Production counterparts.
Partner with product design to translate design constraints into realistic process requirements and strategically absorb product changes without sacrificing yield or cycle time.
Drive design specifications, design reviews, and buy-off criteria for automation equipment that performs dispense, including adhesives, potting, sealants, form-in-place gaskets, and related structural joining.
Use data-driven decision-making to root-cause production issues and drive the optimal outcome.
Optimize deployed processes to meet yield, quality, and cycle time targets; own process capability and control through ramp.
Build and maintain the factory process knowledge base, including standards, work instructions, PFMEA/control plans, and lessons learned from launch and production.

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
