The Role

Tesla is looking for a highly motivated Manufacturing Engineer to Design new High Pressure Die Casting Lines and Facilities. This will include Specifying and Laying out new Equipment, such as Melt Furnaces, Die Cast Machines, Trimming Stations and Finishing lines. In addition to specifying and procuring equipment, there will also be numerous items, e.g. fixtures, to design and fabricate in-house.

The responsible Engineer will then follow up the Fabrication, Installation, Integration, Commissioning and Ramping the Lines to the point of hand over to a Sustaining Production Operations organization. Handover will require demonstration of assumed equipment performance (OEE), with all supporting documentation, such as Work Instructions, Maintenance Procedures, etc. Following hand over, the Engineer will move on to development of the next line, but in many cases, multiple lines will be in various stages of development simultaneously, so effective multitasking and time management of dynamic priorities is a key.
