About the Job

Requirements

Hands-on experience with a product lifecycle management system such as 3DEXPERIENCE/Enovia, Teamcenter, Windchill, or an equivalent system in an engineering or manufacturing setting.
Deep understanding of engineering bill of materials structure, part and drawing revisions, and engineering change processes.
A track record of root-causing data problems across multiple systems, rather than only reporting them.
SQL and at least one scripting language to query data and automate checks.
Ability to read application programming interface responses (REST or gRPC) and logs to identify where data went wrong.
Clear written communication with software engineers and non-technical users.

Responsibilities

Validate engineering bill of materials and file data against design intent in product lifecycle management systems of record, catching errors before they reach suppliers and factory lines.
Run migration and release checks, and validate changes to customer-facing data before they ship.
Triage defects end to end, distinguish system issues from user error, find root causes, and provide engineering with actionable defect reports.
Provide first-line support to engineers, buyers, and supplier-facing teams on access, missing files, and bill of materials mismatches.
Teach software engineers PLM concepts behind the data, including part revisions, primary and replica objects, maturity states, change actions, and configuration.
Automate repeated checks with scripts and coding agents so validation scales with release volume.
Document work in runbooks and known-issue records, and capture the reasoning behind each fix.

Desired Qualifications

Daily use of artificial intelligence tools or coding agents to speed up analysis and automation.
CATIA/3DX experience.
Experience with supplier or manufacturing data exchange.

Job Description

Tesla's Vehicle Engineering department is composed of thousands of the world's best vehicle, battery, and manufacturing engineers. These engineers are responsible for the mechanical and industrial design of all major programs, for example, batteries, Optimus, Robotaxi, and all new factories. Design Technology, which is part of Vehicle Engineering, is responsible for making the tools these engineers use every bit as intelligent and dynamic as the products themselves.As a PLM Quality & Support Engineer on the Design Technology team, you will own the accuracy of the Engineering BOM in and outside our PLM systems. Teams across Tesla depend on that data every day, from the design engineers creating our next products to the factory line itself. When something looks wrong, you decide whether it's a system defect or user error, find the root cause, and make sure it doesn't happen again.Joining our team means directly impacting Tesla's ability to communicate critical design data as the company scales to ship millions of products a year from factories around the world.

Job Responsibilities

Validate EBOM and file data against the design intent in our PLM systems of record. Catch errors before they reach suppliers and factory lines
Run migration and release checks, and validate changes to customer-facing data before they ship
Triage defects end to end. Tell system issues from user error, find the root cause, and hand engineering a defect report they can act on
Be first-line support for engineers, buyers, and supplier-facing teams on access, missing files, and BOM mismatches
Teach software engineers the PLM concepts behind the data: part revisions, primary and replica objects, maturity states, change actions, and configuration
Automate the checks you run more than twice, with scripts and coding agents, so validation scales with release volume
Write everything down so the work is visible: runbooks, known issues, and the reasoning behind each fix

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.
