What To Expect
In this role, you will support the program lead from feasibility through a process that is feasible for high-speed stamping of laminated segment stators on the Stamping Manufacturing Engineering team. You will own progressive die design and set die standards, process parameters and quality controls from concept through production launch, working with motor design, tooling and die suppliers. This work makes stator laminations manufacturable at the rate and quality required for Tesla electric drive units.
What You'll Do
Support the program lead from feasibility through making the process feasible for high-speed stampingDevelop strip layout, material flow and process capability for laminated segment stator stampingOwn progressive and compound die design for thin-gauge electrical steel, including segment geometry, interlocking and stack bondingSet die design standards, tolerancing and tooling specifications for high strokes-per-minute linesWork with motor design in concept development so slot profiles, segment interfaces and lamination geometry are manufacturableDefine and validate feed rate, blankholder force, lubrication and die clearance for thin-gauge electrical steelManage supplier die programs from RFQ and design review through tryout and production approvalLead PFMEA and DFMEA and put countermeasures into die design and process controlsDefine quality plans for geometry, burr height, flatness and interlock integrity, with SPC at high volumeSpecify presses, coil handling and in-line inspection, and support tryout, commissioning and ramp at suppliers and Tesla sites
What You'll Bring
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering or equivalent experience5 years of relevant stamping experience, or 3 years with a degreeProgressive die design for high-speed stamping, including strip layout, station sequencing and components such as punches, dies, pilots, lifters and camsElectrical steel stamping, including thin-gauge behavior, springback and burr controlStator lamination or laminated core manufacturing, including segment geometry, interlocking and stack assemblyHigh-speed press operations at 200 strokes per minute or above, in cluding press selection, dynamic load and coil feed integrationGD&T for tooling and lamination drawings, PFMEA, DFMEA and die CAD in CATIA, NX or equivalentPreferred: traction motor segment stators, self-bonding or mechanical interlock, in-die sensing and forming simulation in AutoForm, Dynaform or SimufactEssential physical demands: work on the factory floor around stamping equipment, support die tryouts and travel up to 25% to suppliers and Tesla sites
