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
Telsa’s cell manufacturing engineering group is looking for a highly-motivated metrology engineer to accelerate our next generation battery cell manufacturing program. This role will identify, develop and scale up manufacturing metrology systems within a cross-functional engineering team responsible for the development lifecycle and launch into manufacturing.
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.
Responsibilities
- Drive development of new/innovative manufacturing metrology from proof-of-concept through to full scale production to improved battery quality, performance and/or cost
- Ensure production lines have the right process controls which are well-defined, high throughput, robust and low-cost. Drive metrology commissioning on new production lines
- Characterize existing processes, establish controls for critical parameters, improve process robustness to variation
- Get hands-on with pilot process equipment to continuously improve the process & metrology sequence and understand the fundamentals of how it works, and drive manufacturability
- Establish process controls for SPC and develop process related OCAPs
- Develop and manage PFMEA risk assessments to prioritize process improvement projects and ensure adequate metrology and controls are in place.
- Build process documentation to accurately define the process to cross-functional teams (equipment, quality, production, etc.)
- Ability to model holistic process costs using bottoms-up system approach
Requirements
- 6+ years’ relevant physical science experience. Senior roles available for more experienced candidates
- Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals and ability to apply them towards manufacturing process development
- Demonstrated experience developing manufacturing metrology for new and unique products
- Demonstrated experience introducing new equipment and new metrology into a production environment
- Work collaboratively within a cross-function development team.
- Proficient in data analysis / interpretation and presentation of experimental data
- General-purpose programming with at least one high-level language
- Ability to work with nitrile rubber.
- German or English language skills required
- Experience with one or more of:
- Vision systems including illumination design, imaging, integration, and visual optics
- Real-time sensor system design and characterization
- Optical or photonic system design for manufacturing
- Roll to roll coating processes
- Continuous wet deposition processes
- Dry powder handling and processing
- Automated mechanical assembly
- Power electronics
- Industrial chemical processing
- Battery manufacturing (li-ion or other chemistry)
- Industrial laser processing
- Long-term reliability testing
