Job Description

<div class="MSWordContent"><p>As the Production Control Associate Automation Integration Engineer, you will collaborate on the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of autonomous material logistics to manufacturing lines with respect to safety, efficiency, cost and quality. Through true cross-departmental collaboration, our engineers design and implement AMR routes, fleet requirements, equipment needs, and automation of top hatting, put away, trailer picks, WIP rack stacking, and trailer unloading to convey raw material effectively and safely to the line. The role is fully dedicated to AMR deployment and to scoping those autonomous implementations, launching on CyberCab and then deploying sustained applications to the current Model Y program and then Optimus. However, our job only begins with design. Through a continuous feedback loop with our operations team, we constantly evaluate and improve our processes to streamline material flow by eliminating non-value-added activities. This never-ending persistence for excellence is a core value to our team and essential to achieving a World Class Manufacturing system. </div>

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.
