About the Job

Requirements

A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Five years of relevant stamping experience, or three years with a degree.
Experience designing progressive dies for high-speed stamping, including strip layout, station sequencing, punches, dies, pilots, lifters, and cams.
Experience stamping electrical steel, including thin-gauge behavior, springback, and burr control.
Experience with stator lamination or laminated core manufacturing, including segment geometry, interlocking, and stack assembly.
Experience with high-speed press operations at 200 strokes per minute or above, including press selection, dynamic load, and coil-feed integration.
Knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) for tooling and lamination drawings, PFMEA, DFMEA, and die CAD using CATIA, NX, or equivalent.
Ability to work on a factory floor around stamping equipment, support die tryouts, and travel up to 25% to suppliers and Tesla sites.

Responsibilities

Support the program lead from feasibility through making the process feasible for high-speed stamping.
Develop strip layout, material flow, and process capability for laminated segment stator stamping.
Own progressive and compound die design for thin-gauge electrical steel, including segment geometry, interlocking, and stack bonding.
Set die design standards, tolerancing, and tooling specifications for high-strokes-per-minute lines.
Work with motor design in concept development so slot profiles, segment interfaces, and lamination geometry are manufacturable.
Define and validate feed rate, blankholder force, lubrication, and die clearance for thin-gauge electrical steel.
Manage supplier die programs from request for quotation and design review through tryout and production approval.
Lead PFMEA and DFMEA and implement countermeasures in die design and process controls.
Define quality plans for geometry, burr height, flatness, and interlock integrity, with statistical process control at high volume.
Specify presses, coil handling, and in-line inspection, and support tryout, commissioning, and ramp-up at suppliers and Tesla sites.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with traction motor segment stators, self-bonding or mechanical interlock, in-die sensing, and forming simulation using AutoForm, Dynaform, or Simufact.

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.
