What To Expect
Tesla’s Cell Manufacturing Engineering group is looking for a highly motivated individual to technical program manage exciting new manufacturing engineering projects. This is a fast-paced, cross-functional role that requires seamless coordination across numerous internal and external teams. You will drive the development and deployment of new internal manufacturing lines while managing the scale-up of new programs—tackling complex, multifaceted challenges with swift, decisive action to deliver results under tight timelines while driving measurable outcomes, optimizing key performance metrics, and consistently achieving ambitious production targets.
You will lead manufacturing projects from concept through design, installation, integration, ramp, and handover to production. Drawing on your technical engineering expertise, you will quickly analyze line, equipment, process, and product requirements; identify and mitigate technical risks; and shape deployment and ramp strategies to create a clear manufacturing program plan. You will proactively communicate program status, spotlight schedule risks early, and act decisively to develop and execute recovery plans that keep projects moving forward to ensure sustained high-performance results.
