A Bachelor’s or Master’s of Science in Mechanical Engineering is required, although equivalent experience is acceptable with evidence of exceptional ability.
Previous experience working with and acting alongside multiple professional groups is required.
Previous experience in automotive stamping or die manufacturing is required.
Experience with a structured problem-solving methodology is required.
Mastery of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio or Project, Jira, and Confluence is required.
Fluent German and/or English language skills are required.
At least 5 years of experience with CAD software, specifically CATIA V5, is required.
At least 5 years of experience in large die design is required.
At least 5 years of experience in AUTOFORM R6 or higher for new process setup and compensation is required.
Experience working with dies that have world-class appearance requirements in a production environment is required.
The ability to manage multiple projects and prioritize competing priorities while considering available manpower is required.
Travel, including some international travel, may be required from time to time.

Responsibilities

Process vehicle stamping dies for blanking, tandem, and transfer lines at the Berlin factory.
Plan new die sets, modify existing die sets, and carry out the entire buy-off process.
Act on the manager’s direction and undertake process improvements in new product introduction.
Execute work with a focus on cost, quality, and timing.
Comply with environmental, health, safety, compliance, and security regulations.
Determine the feasibility of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and estimate implementation time and cost.
Work with the CAD Tech Lead, ECO/Machining Lead, and Toolmakers to develop modification plans for stamping dies, including quality improvements, new-build die design, ECOs, modifications, and repairs.
Implement ECOs through the full cycle, from updated CATIA part models through data overlays, die-design-data review, modification planning, and coordination with the Tool & Die ECO team and vendors.
Support creation of a standard spare-parts catalogue for new projects.
Attend change-control meetings to assess Model Y ECO and modification-request priorities based on quality impact, cost, and lessons learned.
Implement 3D die-design modifications to reflect ECOs.
Support the engineering team in implementing Die Modification Requests (DMRs) to improve stamped-panel dimensional quality, panel fit in BIW, and overall body accuracy.
Analyze die-related downtime and part-quality reports, and create methods and processes to achieve zero downtime, reduce Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) and Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and improve part quality.
Work with global teams to align and implement systems that reduce defects, targeting zero defects.
Support the creation of standards and identify and implement improvements to increase the efficiency of Manufacturing Engineering Tool & Die systems.
Provide technical leadership during die design, vendor buy-off, and home-line trials for new-model dies.
Independently generate and modify vehicle-stamping-part AUTOFORM simulations, including die design, process planning, and springback compensation.
Prepare and technically lead reviews of die designs, patterns, cast models, and checking-fixture designs to prevent production problems.
Document lessons learned and implement them in future projects.

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.
