What to Expect
Tesla’s Energy Engineering group is looking for a highly motivated individual to program manage existing and new design engineering for the AC Charging program.
This is a cross-functional role that requires coordination between many different groups within and outside of Tesla.
You will interface with design engineering, manufacturing engineering and operations, supply chain, compliance, reliability, and field operations to define and drive development of new product programs while also managing change on existing programs.
As part of the design engineering team, you will be immersed in the design and manufacturing engineering process and will shepherd projects from concept through to prototype validation and then production ramp.
You will use your engineering background to understand the product and manufacturing requirements, technical risks and the validation strategy to accelerate the development and manufacturing bring up process.
You will communicate and present project status, highlight schedule risk, and develop recovery plans in the event of project slip.
As an Engineering Program Manager, you will be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy on your programs while contributing to the development of tools and processes that improve the organization’s productivity.
You will be based out of the Bay Area (Palo Alto) with the expectation of some travel to our manufacturing facilities in either California or Nevada, as program needs dictate.
What You’ll Do
Work with Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering and Operations, Facilities and Construction, Reliability, Test, Supply Chain, Manufacturing and other supporting functions in order to identify and scope projects for Charging and sub-assembly design and manufacturing
Manage product cost down and quality improvements
Create, maintain, communicate, and present schedules for design and manufacturing engineering projects to the engineering leadership team
Prioritize the engineering team’s work based on risk, resources and payback
Identify creative ways to overcome obstacles and meet the schedule despite setbacks
Define processes that will improve risk and change management
What You’ll Bring
Demonstrated experience in the management of engineering projects for mass produced products
Demonstrated experience with manufacturing line bring up and ramp to mass production
Demonstrated understanding of the engineering product design cycle
Demonstrated experience creating, maintaining and communicating schedules
Demonstrated understanding of multilevel Bill of Material hierarchy, including hardware and software components
Ability to inspire confidence in multiple layers of management from executive to associate levels, as the face of your programs
Skills with common program management tools, software and practices
Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, production, and supply chain personnel
Bachelor's Degree in an engineering discipline, preferably Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or a closely related field, or equivalent
