Manufacturing Engineer, Material Flow Simulation
Tesla is currently seeking a motivated Manufacturing Engineer with expertise in discrete event simulation modeling to design the material flow for Global Factory Design projects. This role focuses on the end-to-end design of material flow, from concept design through handoff of a fully detailed plan to Operations. This role will design the material inbound process, provide material handling equipment needs, specify equipment to minimize manual handling, and ensure the lineside space is efficiently designed. This role requires an understanding of Manufacturing Engineering fundamentals with a solid proficiency in simulation modeling. It is critical for a successful applicant to solve problems using first principles analysis, and exercise aggressive design optimization. The team is responsible for developing a factory design which supports seamless integration between production, material flow, construction, and facilities teams. Innovation is expected. Through a detailed understanding of the high-level factory objectives and extensive collaboration with the internal and external teams designing individual factory components, this team ensures that the factory design as whole achieves all of Tesla’s objectives. The ideal candidate will excel in a demanding and fast-paced environment where they will work as part of a strong, agile, and highly motivated team to accomplish some of the most ambitious projects being attempted in any industry today. A successful applicant will take pride in their thoroughness, analytical ability, organizational skills, and team mentality.
