Tesla is looking for a motivated Manufacturing Engineer to join the Energy Manufacturing Engineering group. This role involves collaborating with a cross-functional team to design and develop efficient manufacturing equipment and processes for Tesla Energy products. The ideal candidate should have strong hands-on skills, analytical abilities, and a passion for mentoring others. Multiple levels are available, with final leveling determined after the interview process based on experience and qualifications.

• 4+ years of experience as a Mechanical/Manufacturing/Automation Engineer with a focus on automation, machine design, robotics, and product development.
• Experience using 2D CAD tools for conceptual line design (AutoCAD) and 3D design for mechanical equipment, fixturing, and tooling (SolidWorks or CATIA).
• Experience transitioning products and processes from prototype to production.
• Experience with conveyance, transducer-based fastening systems, and robotic systems, preferably Fanuc.
• Experience creating technical specifications for automated manufacturing equipment.
• Experience providing Design for Manufacturability and Automation.
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a similar field, or equivalent experience.

• Design and develop manufacturing equipment and fixtures to support early-stage prototype builds.
• Determine and procure equipment necessary for all manufacturing processes used to build the product.
• Conceptualize equipment development while balancing product specifications, process requirements, layout complexity, cost, and lead-time limits.
• Work with equipment integrators to design and manufacture equipment and fixtures for medium to high-volume production.
• Provide DFM (design for manufacturability) input to the design team for process and yield improvements.
• Support building, debugging, validation, and equipment duplication efforts, and fine-tune equipment for release to production.
• Conduct detailed testing and validation of installed machinery, including on-site and off-site acceptance testing (SAT/FAT), to ensure robustness and quality.

• Employees at Tesla are often offered day-one coverage with multiple medical options (some at $0 paycheck cost), dental/vision, company HSA contributions, a 401(k) match, and equity programs. Most roles also include paid time off and holidays, family-building support, employee assistance, commuter and childcare benefits, and access to discounts and wellness programs.
