What to ExpectThe Process Engineer will be responsible for process sustaining and continuous improvement on the production line, building Tesla's commercial scale energy storage product. This position will be responsible for applying lean manufacturing principles to monitor yield, fallout, and critical parameters and drive necessary process improvements. Daily work will be highly cooperative in nature with regularly interactions with manufacturing engineering, new product introduction, quality engineering, equipment engineering, and production operators - strong interpersonal skills are critical. The engineer will place a significant focus on troubleshooting and root causing test failures and fallout, including data collection and rework process development
The Process Engineer should be detail focused with an understanding of the big picture. He/she must be curious, self-motivated, receptive to feedback, and appreciate an environment where superior work is encouraged, noticed and rewarded.
What You'll Do- Develop expertise in manufacturing processes. Understand
process capabilities through critical data analysis and in depth understanding of the product. Develop and modify line layouts, including material flow, waste reduction, and ergonomics, utilizing Lean Manufacturing best practices. Participate in the transition of a product from concept to pilot line production and into mass manufacturing
- Root Cause analysis of complex systems, and mitigation of
failure modes via a systems approach
- Analyze and optimize production processes to ensure safety
while maximizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in cost effective means while driving to achieve world-class quality levels. Champion continuous improvement projects (CIP) to maximize yield, capacity, and capability
- Lead continuous improvement activities to drive improvements to critical KPIs: safety, quality, output, and cost. Establish and monitor SPC for all critical process parameters
- Lead NCM (non-conforming material) activities, including the documentation and troubleshooting of line fall out. Create troubleshooting
guides and document procedures for offline failure analysis of test failures
and non-conformances. Design, validate, and document rework procedures for non-conforming material
