<p>Tesla Manufacturing Engineers have the important role of designing "The machine that builds the machine". We work with the cross-functional teams (Design, Quality, Production, Sustaining, and Supply Chain) throughout the entire lifecycle of a product (from initial design through prototype development and into full production) to develop high quality and efficient manufacturing equipment and processes that will produce Tesla's cutting-edge power electronics. This role is located at Tesla's Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada.</p> <ul> <li>Develop and procure manufacturing equipment and fixtures for early-stage prototype builds and full-scale production </li><li>Collaborate with equipment integrators and suppliers to design, manufacture, and install equipment for medium to high-volume production </li><li>Characterize, validate, and implement new equipment and fixtures on the production floor </li><li>Develop and optimize manufacturing processes, including detailed work instructions to train technicians and line operators </li><li>Plan production workstation layouts for optimal product flow, ergonomics, and efficiency </li><li>Conduct process analysis, DOE, PFMEA, line balancing, and capacity modeling/simulation to improve manufacturing performance </li><li>Provide DFM feedback to the design team to enhance manufacturability, process efficiency, and yield </li><li>5+ years of experience as a hands-on mechanical/manufacturing/design engineer working on mechanical and/or electromechanical systems </li><li>Experience using 2D cad tools for conceptual line design (AutoCAD) and 3D design for mechanical equipment, fixturing, and tooling (SolidWorks or CATIA) </li><li>Experience with conveyance, transducer-based fastening systems, robotic systems (Fanuc preferred) </li><li>Experience creating technical specifications for automated manufacturing equipment </li><li>Experience providing Design for Manufacturability and Automation </li><li>Degree in Mechanical Engineering, evidence of exceptional ability, or equivalent experience </li></ul>
