Job Description

<p>Tesla is currently seeking a motivated Industrial Engineer to design the outbound material flow for Global Factory Design projects for Vehicle, Bot and Energy Products. This role will develop end-to-end design of outbound finished product material flow, from initial concept design through the handoff of a fully detailed plan to the Operations team. The successful candidate will develop comprehensive process flows for finished product exit from production through end-of-line, storage, and final dispatch operations. This includes defining post-production routing processes and staging areas based on customer location, delivery requirements, and shipping modes, while ensuring seamless integration between production exit points and outbound logistics operations. It is critical for a successful applicant to solve problems using first principles analysis, and exercise aggressive design optimization. This position is based in Austin, TX. </p><p>The team is responsible for developing a factory design which supports seamless integration between production, material flow, construction, and facilities teams. Innovation is expected. Through a detailed understanding of the high-level factory objectives and extensive collaboration with the internal and external teams designing individual factory components, this team ensures that the factory design as whole achieves all of Tesla’s objectives. </p>

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.
