What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sr. Manufacturing Controls Development Engineer position at Tesla?
What To Expect
Tesla is seeking a highly motivated Controls Engineer to contribute to the design and development of new automation equipment and assembly lines. The Controls Engineer will work to develop machine and process concepts along with several Manufacturing Engineering peers. Candidate will create a robust system architecture to support the concept, and then layout electrical/pneumatic schematics. Once the electrical panel is built, he/she will program all controls components such as PLC, safety devices, HMI, servo drives, process hardware and robots from power-on to debug, and finally to process fine tuning and validation.
The Controls Engineer will also work with cross-functional teams throughout the entire life cycle of the product and processes. The ideal candidate will work closely with Product Design Engineering, Quality, Production and Maintenance to bring components from initial design, through prototype development and finally into full production.
What You'll Do
Participate in initial equipment conceptual development and carefully balance product specifications, process control requirements, layout complexity, cost, quality and lead-time limits Lay out new industrial electrical control panels which are NFPA79/NEC/UL508A compliant, and create electrical, pneumatic and fluid schematics Architect, write, and debug PLC ladder logic with an emphasis on generating code that is organized, structured, documented, maintainable and reusable PLC code will interact with subsystems such as conveyors, robots, Manufacturing Execution System (MES), LabView, machine vision, and 3rd party equipment Implement (ANSI/RIA15.06/OSHA compliant) control reliable safety systems for safeguarding robots, gantries, conveyors, and other high volume manufacturing equipment Generate aesthetically simple HMI screens for complex machinery while providing sufficient feedback for troubleshooting Manage electrical cabinet builds, field wiring, pneumatic and fluid plumbing Select and size electrical and electromechanical components such as servos Characterize and validate new automated process equipment for deployment into production
What You'll Bring
Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience 2-4 years of experience as a hands-on Controls Engineer or Applications Engineer working on automation and/or electromechanical systems Proficiency with process integration and electromechanical / mechatronic systemsIn depth knowledge of Electrical Standards (NFPA79, National Electric code, UL508A) In depth knowledge of Safety standards (ANSI/RIA15.06, OSHA)Experience with Vision systems (Cognex, Keyence, Fanuc) Experience transitioning products and processes from prototype to production desired Knowledge of production quality metrics is a plus Ability to use 3D CAD packages such as with SolidWorks and CATIA is a plus
