What to Expect
Battery Cells are the common denominator for every Tesla product.
Our product requirements demand ground-up cell architectures with state-of-the-art performance, manufactured at volumes that are orders of magnitude higher than the products they power.
Our environment is fast-paced and incredibly exciting, so being passionate and self-motivated to push your limits is critical.
Our team works with engineering groups across various disciplines, requiring strong communication skills and a team-first mentality.
You will work alongside seasoned industry experts, high aptitude recent graduates, and people from every stage in between.
We look for anyone with an exceptional ability to solve problems in both individual and team settings.
Tesla’s Supplier Industrialization team is responsible for critical component development and qualification activities at suppliers.
This role will invent, develop, qualify, scale up and optimize Measurement/inspection systems: both manual and automated methods for battery 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 unbelievable things into reality.
What You’ll Do
Perform drawing reviews to understand design strategies and develop required measurement strategy that is scalable to high volume production
