A process engineer will implement, develop,and optimize production methodologies in the manufacturing operations of Tesla.This engineer will be responsible for optimizing product flow though thefactory though process optimization that may include tool /fixture selection,line layouts, ergonomic study, material presentation, and other relevantfactors. They will interface with design, test, and quality engineering tosolve problems, improve manufacturability, and implement continual improvement.They will sustain products with cost reduction and yield improvements. Inaddition, the process engineer will work with quality to compile and evaluatedata to determine appropriate limits and variables for process or materialspecifications.

• Develop expertise in manufacturingprocesses. Understand process capabilities through critical data analysisand in depth understanding of the product. Develop and modify linelayouts, including material flow, waste reduction, and ergonomics, utilizing LeanManufacturing best practices
• Analyze and optimize production processes toensure safety while maximizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in costeffective means while driving to achieve world-class qualitylevels. Champion continuous improvement projects (CIP) to maximizeyield, capacity, and capability
• Responsible for diagnosing issues found duringthe part manufacturing process and drive corrective action back to source,resulting in root cause identification and elimination. Utilizestructured problem solving techniques such as DMAIC, Ishikawa, Five Why (5W)and Eight Disciplines (8D)
• Develop robust and clear data collection,visualization, and analysis tools. Enable data driven operationaland financial decisions through predictive insights into tool and processperformance, including integration of factory data systems and use of softwaresuch as MySQL, Python, R, JMP, Minitab, Tableau and Ignition
