We’re building a world powered by solar energy, running on batteries and transported by electric vehicles. Explore the most recent impact of our products, people and supply chain. |
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 power electronics, thermal systems and customer facing industrial battery storage systems. The Staff Manufacturing Engineer, Body in White, will lead a team of engineers and work closely with cross functional stakeholders to maintain existing equipment, processes, and testers.
