What To Expect
Tesla is seeking a highly motivated Equipment Engineer to contribute to the design and development of new automation equipment lines in our Tabless process for our advanced cell manufacturing equipment for our cutting-edge Tesla battery cells.
The battery cell is one of the most complex and challenging components designed and manufactured at Tesla. This is an exciting opportunity to build a world class manufacturing facility right here in the Bay Area. Tesla is a demanding and fast-paced environment where you will work on a critical subsystem of incredibly exciting products.
The Equipment Engineer will also work with cross-functional teams throughout the entire lifecycle of the product and processes. They will work closely with Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Process teams to fix production equipment issues and support NPI teams to bring the new product from initial design through prototype development and finally into full production.
