Tesla is
accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy. Revolutionary
strategies and products were developed within a few years and successfully
launched on a large scale. This is only possible through extraordinary speed,
innovation and efficiency.
Gigafactory
Berlin-Brandenburg forms the perfect basis for rolling out Tesla's incredible
success story in Europe. The most important pillar for this are our employees.
Their passion, motivation and engagement ensure that we achieve our goals. We
are looking for you to continue and expand this success story together.
The Role – Coating Process Engineer
Tesla is looking for a highly motivated process development engineer to create, develop and scale up manufacturing processes for our cutting-edge Tesla battery cell manufacturing line. This role will invent, develop, scale up and optimize battery manufacturing processes within a cross-functional engineering team
responsible for the development lifecycle and launch into manufacturing. In this role, you will work closely with many organizations both
internal and external to Tesla taking new battery designs from initial concept
through into full production.
The battery cell is a critical component in Tesla vehicles and storage
systems. This role will have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to our products. The work environment
is demanding, fast-paced and incredibly exciting. The ideal candidate should be ready to push
their limits, as they join in highly motivated and capable team to make
unbelieve things into reality.
