What to Expect
Tesla's Manufacturing Engineering team is at the forefront of building cutting
edge assembly lines and automation cells. This team is building the next
generation assembly lines which allows our operations team to produce amazing
vehicles at best-in-class quality and rate; in a safe and ergonomic
environment. The TPM on the Material Flow/Conveyance Engineering team is
responsible for managing technical projects from “cradle to grave”. This
includes system concept and detailed design, equipment specification,
implementation, and commissioning, as well as establishment and optimization
of processes that interact with the conveyance and storage systems. The scope
includes the automated conveyance and storage of painted and unpainted bodies,
battery packs, drive units, large underbody castings, and large General
Assembly (GA) commodities such as seats, tires, instrument panels.
Traditional project management functions such as timelines, budgets and
coordination's with vendors and other groups within Tesla are also the
responsibility of the senior technical project manager on the material flow
team.
What You'll Do
Overall scope and schedule alignment with each shop
Manage cross-functional factory projects with aggressive agenda
Contribute directly as project team coordinator to ensure successful
execution of workshop master layout design, permitting process, material
flow, production line, building design through all major project phases
including design, equipment specification and selection, procurement,
construction/installation, integration, commissioning, buyoff and start of
production
Translate different requirements from stakeholders into project scope and
define the responsibility interface clearly.
Collaborate with Infrastructure, manufacturing, ME, material flow, QA team
to coordinate building, utilities, process, and equipment changes
