Manufacturing Engineer (m/f/d)

What To Expect
Tesla Engineering Germany GmbH is seeking a highly motivated Manufacturing Engineer to drive the development and optimization of manufacturing processes for Tesla Energy Products. This role will be instrumental in scaling production from early prototypes to full-volume manufacturing, ensuring efficiency, quality, and innovation. The ideal candidate has a strong background in process development, statistical analysis, and cross-functional collaboration to support new product introductions (NPI) and continuous improvement initiatives.

What You'll Do

1. Identify appropriate processes early in the design process and give DFM Feedback to design team.
2. Validate and optimize processes from early prototype builds through large-scale production, ensuring cost-effective manufacturing.
3. Identify critical process parameters and quality attributes, and conduct experiments using Design of Experiments (DOE) methods to identify acceptable process windows.
4. Hands-on testing of production processes by developing and executing customized evaluation measures, including defining process parameters, quantifying results, and implementing optimized manufacturing processes.
5. Monitor and reduce process variation using techniques such as Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA).
6. Collaborate cross-functionally with various design teams to ensure manufacturability, resolve technical challenges, and support new product introductions (NPI) for energy products.

What You'll Bring

1. BS/MS in Mechanical/Industrial Engineering or equivalent experience.
2. 3+ years of experience as a Manufacturing Engineer or similar, with direct responsibility for developing, deploying, ramping, and optimizing complex assembly processes in automated high-volume production environments.
3. Strong working knowledge of statistical analysis and proficiency in using tools like MySQL, Python, or Tableau to make data-driven decisions and drive business results.
4. Hands-on skills with production equipment, general electromechanical systems, and measurement techniques.
5. Strong problem-solving skills and an aptitude for learning systems quickly.
6. Effective collaboration with your direct team and other stakeholders while keeping track of details and staying organized.
7. Self-motivated with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
