What To Expect
Designing and building world-class Gigafactories, at record speed, is key to Tesla scaling worldwide. In this role, you will own Terafab infrastructure - a semiconductor-scale program delivering major infrastructure upgrades across datacenters, power generation, logistics, central utility plants, and chemical and gas systems. You will lead site master planning and major scope sequencing, and drive infrastructure from concept through design, construction, commissioning, and production readiness. This role starts at Gigafactory Texas (Austin) for the first six months, then relocates to the permanent Terafab site in Grimes County, Texas. The ideal candidate has demonstrated capability in semiconductor site development for large-scale manufacturing, plus technical competence in the systems above, technical program management, factory engineering, construction, and contract management.
What You'll Do
Own the Terafab plan of record, scope definition, approval, strategy, and execution for onsite and offsite infrastructure programs by integrating, negotiating, and aligning with factory engineering, construction, procurement, finance, facilities operations, EHS, and program customers. Lead site master planning for Terafab and Research Fab - land use, utility corridors, logistics flows, power, datacenter, central utilities, and chemical/gas infrastructure - sequenced against production ramp and future nodesStart at Gigafactory Texas to stand up program, team, and plan of record, then relocate to Grimes County, Texas as the permanent Terafab site and lead large-scale semiconductor site development through design, construction, and production readinessOwn major scope sequencing across datacenters, power generation, logistics, central utility plants, and chemical/gas systems. Define options, tradeoffs, cost, schedule, and production impact, and secure alignment between working teams and leadershipConvert customer and process requirements into executable infrastructure scope. Initiate feasibility, capacity, and value-engineering studies, and ensure deliverables for procurement, costing, permitting, and construction meet program requirementsOwn program communications to major stakeholders: schedule, budget, cost, forecast, risk, operational readiness, and launch readiness. Drive program funding to meet timelines with quantified options assessmentServe as the single infrastructure program point of contact through the lifecycle. Coordinate Engineering Program Managers, design partners, EPC contractors, specialty vendors, and authorities having jurisdiction. Influence leadership to prioritize work and actively convert requirements into executable scopeProactively identify and drive continuous improvement of Tesla processes to improve Terafab program performance
What You'll Bring
