What to Expect A Process Engineer will implement, develop, and optimize production methodologies in the manufacturing operations of Tesla. This Engineer will be responsible for OEE and drive process optimization that may include tool/fixture selection, line layouts, ergonomicstudy, material presentation, and other relevant factors. They will interface with Design, Test, and Quality Engineering to solve problems, improve manufacturability, and implement continual improvement. They will sustain production lines with cost reduction and yield improvements. What You'll Do Develop expertise in manufacturing processes for their area. Understand process capabilities through critical data analysis and in-depth understanding of the product. Develop and modify line and workstation layouts, including material flow, waste reduction, and ergonomics, utilizing Lean Manufacturing best practices. Participate in the transition of a product from concept to pilot line production and into mass manufacturing Analyze and optimize production processes to ensure safety while maximizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in cost effective means while driving to achieve world-class quality levels. Champion continuous improvement projects (CIP) to maximize yield, capacity, and capability Work closely with functional and electrical testing (Examples: Hipot, Resistance, High/Low Voltage Tests, Firmware Checks) of products on the production line to determine top failure modes and drive yield improvements Responsible for diagnosing issues found during the part manufacturing process and drive corrective action back to source, resulting in root cause identification and elimination. Utilize structured problem-solving techniques such as DMAIC, Ishikawa, Five Why (5W) and Eight Disciplines (8D) Analyze data from various sources to identify trends in build quality andefficiency. Develop robust and clear data collection, visualization, andanalysis tools. Enable data driven operational and financial decisionsthrough predictive insights into tool and process performance, includingintegration of factory data systems and use of software such as MySQL, Python,R, JMP, Minitab, Tableau and Ignition Perform supporting activities for Engineering and Manufacturing including 5S and Lean manufacturing activities, material handling improvements, production line configuration, and safety procedures Monitor and reduce process variation using techniques such as Statistical ProcessControl (SPC) and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA). Monitor and audit manufacturing processes to ensure product specifications and standards area chieved. Participate in the development and maintenance of FMEAs and Control Plans. Analyze, develop, process, and implement Engineering Change Orders Create and maintain Manufacturing Instructions, routings, and associated processes. Develop and train Sustaining Technicians, assist in the training of Operators as needed. Manage activities for Process Sustaining Technicians to support day to day coverage of production line, including developing and documenting appropriate rework procedures Support 24/7 production operations What You'll Bring Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physical Science or other applicable degree (advanced degree preferred) or equivalent experience 1-3 years of experience working in battery module or pack manufacturing Experience developing and improving process. Have a demonstrated track record of Overall Equipment Effectiveness improvement activities Good understanding of Bill of Materials, Manufacturing Execution System, Specification Management, Change Point Management Experience working with high voltage electronics and testing, electrical engineering background Data analysis experience using tools like MySQL, Python, R, JMP, Minitab. Ability to develop data driven root cause analyses and solutions Strong problem-solving skills and an aptitude for learning systems quickly. Able to utilize structured problem-solving techniques such as DMAIC, Ishikawa, Five Why (5W) or Eight Disciplines (8D). Able to resolve high level performance issues into addressable action Exceptional capacity for managing simultaneous activities, competing priorities and challenges Strong ability to work and communicate effectively with team and peers within a Manufacturing and Engineering organization.
