Sr. Process Engineer, LFP Stack Module Cell Manufacturing

A Sr. Process Engineer will implement, develop, and optimize production methodologies in the Energy Stack Module operations of Tesla. This Engineer will be responsible for optimizing product flow through process optimization that may include tool /fixture selection, line layouts, ergonomic study, material presentation, 5s, Kaizen, Gemba, Six sigma and other relevant factors. They will interface with design, test, and quality engineering to solve problems, improve manufacturability, and implement continual improvement. They will sustain products with cost reduction and yield improvements. In addition, the Sr. Process Engineer will work with quality to compile and evaluate data to determine appropriate limits and variables for process or material specifications.
