About the Job

Requirements

  • A degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Metallurgical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
  • Five to ten years of hands-on engineering experience in high-pressure die casting or foundry environments.
  • Strong knowledge of aluminum or magnesium metallurgy, heat treatment, machine capability, and secondary operations.
  • Proficiency with MAGMA, Flow-3D, or ProCAST casting simulation software.
  • Proficiency with NX, CATIA, or SolidWorks computer-aided design software.
  • Strong command of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Design of Experiments (DOE).
  • Knowledge of VDU dosing systems for cycle-time control and issue tracing.
  • Understanding of FANUC robots for spray and part extraction.
  • Full understanding of Ignition, thermal system software, and die-lube micro-spray or electrostatic spray systems for setup, trending, and troubleshooting.

Responsibilities

  • Own the full high-pressure die-casting process, including metal delivery, shot profiles, thermal management, spray, extraction, trimming, and secondary operations.
  • Analyze process and production data to improve capability, prevent defects, and stabilize casting quality.
  • Lead continuous-improvement initiatives for quality, uptime, cost, and safety, working with Controls, Maintenance, Quality, Tooling, and Operations.
  • Support new-tool launches with design-for-manufacturing (DFM) input and initial casting trials.
  • Use Ignition, thermal systems, die-lube spray, VDU, and FANUC robot knowledge to monitor, set up, and troubleshoot process and equipment issues.
  • Own and control the high-pressure die-casting process for aluminum automotive giga-casting, including metal delivery, shot-profile development, die thermal management, spray and extraction cycles, part removal, trimming, and secondary operations.
  • Set and drive key manufacturing KPIs, optimize existing processes, and partner cross-functionally to launch, qualify, and continuously improve casting processes, equipment, and work standards.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with IDRA 6100 and 9000-ton machines for aluminum giga-casting.

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.
