Job Description

Tesla’s Bay Area Prototype Team is seeking a skilled, highly motivated, and experienced CNC Mill-Turn Programmer for a senior position on our Gear Lab Team. This is an opportunity to be an integral part of a specialized unit partnering with Tesla’s Drive Systems Engineering. Together, our R&D efforts aim to produce the world’s best electric propulsion systems.

At the DSE Gear Lab, you will contribute to the production of cutting edge geartrain components made to the highest quality standards for electric propulsion applications. Working in a dynamic and fast-paced prototype environment, we look to you to develop and execute efficient setups of our CNC equipment to meet design engineering objectives. The ideal candidate will autonomously operate machinery and educate junior operators on precision turning practices and collaborate with manufacturing and design engineers.  The selected candidate will learn and perform various gear cutting techniques, thus an open mindset and willingness to learn will be an asset.

This position will be stationed within Tesla’s greater Prototype Machine Shop which serves engineering initiatives across the entire organization, including pre-production vehicles, energy systems, artificial intelligence, and other future-shaping products. Working alongside the Prototype Machine Shop team, opportunities to assist in these adjacent efforts will be present. Our world-class team looks forward to working with you on this exciting initiative!

The Role

  • Program, setup and operate CNC B-Axis Mill-Turns and other lathes in a low-volume & high-mix workflow
  • Work closely with engineers and project stakeholders to provide crucial input on design for manufacturability
