What to Expect
Tesla is looking for a highly motivated process development engineer to create, develop and scale up manufacturing processes for our cutting-edge Tesla battery cell manufacturing line.
This role will invent, develop, scale up and optimize battery manufacturing processes within a cross-functional engineering team responsible for the development lifecycle and launch into manufacturing.
In this role, you will work closely with many organizations both internal and external to Tesla taking new battery designs from initial concept through into full production.
The battery cell is a critical component in Tesla vehicles and storage systems.
This role will have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to our products.
The work environment is demanding, fast-paced and incredibly exciting.
The ideal candidate should be ready to push their limits, as they join in highly motivated and capable team to make unbelieve things into reality.
What You’ll Do
Drive development of new/innovative manufacturing processes from proof of concept through to full scale production that enable improved battery performance and/or cost
Be an expert leader in the technical discussion and define development roadmap for electrolyte, electrolyte filling and battery cell technology
Work with internal and external teams to develop innovative process, product and equipment design solutions to advance battery performance and cell manufacturing
Characterize existing processes, establish controls for critical parameters and improve process robustness
Plan and Execute DoEs to characterize boundary conditions and optimize process for manufacturability and quality
Develop and manage PFMEA risk assessments to prioritize process improvement projects and ensure adequate metrology and controls are in place
Use tools like Minitab/JMP for data analysis and presentation of experimental data
Establish process controls for SPC and develop process related OCAPs
Build process documentation to accurately define the process to cross-functional teams (equipment, quality, production, etc.
)
What You’ll Bring
