Process Engineer, Cell Engineering

Implement, develop, and optimize production methodologies in the manufacturing operations of Tesla. Optimize product flow through the factory though process optimization that may include tool /fixture selection, line layouts, ergonomic study, material presentation, and other relevant factors. Interface with design, test, and quality engineering to solve problems, improve manufacturability, and implement continual improvement. Sustain products with cost reduction and yield improvements. Work with quality to compile and evaluate data to determine appropriate limits and variables for process or material specifications.

· Analyze and optimize production processes to ensure safety while maximizing yield, capacity, and capability in cost effective means while driving to achieve world-class quality levels.

· Develop and modify line layouts, including material flow, waste reduction, and ergonomics, utilizing Lean Manufacturing best practices.

· Create and maintain Manufacturing Instructions, routings, and associated processes.

· Participate in the transition of a product from concept to pilot line production and into mass manufacturing.

· Apply technical knowledge to innovate, design and develop processes, tooling, assembly fixtures and procedures.

· Participate in the development and maintenance of FMEAs and Control Plans.

· Monitor and reduce process variation using Statistical Process Control.

· Analyze, develop, process, and implement Engineering Change Orders.

· Work with production staff and engineers to develop, validate, and improve processes used in manufacturing and manufacturability of designs.

· Assist in the training of operators as needed.
