Job Description

Tesla is seeking a highly experienced Process Design Engineer with deep chemical engineering expertise and a proven track record of leading complex process scopes to join our R&D/Manufacturing Design team in Fremont, CA. Our design team spearheads the creation of mechanical process systems that enable R&D testing, cell production, and energy manufacturing across Tesla's global sites.

This full-time, onsite role within the infrastructure group demands technical leadership, end-to-end process ownership, and hands-on design excellence across highly technical environments—including dry rooms, clean rooms, and advanced manufacturing facilities. You'll lead process design efforts spanning all Tesla programs—Autopilot, Energy, Vehicle/Semi, AI, Robotics (Optimus), and Cell Manufacturing—delivering scalable, compliant solutions that align with our mission to build a world of amazing abundance.

The Role

  • Lead full process design scopes from concept through construction for R&D laboratories, dry rooms, clean rooms, and high-tech manufacturing facilities. Apply advanced chemical engineering fundamentals to solve complex, first-of-kind design challenges across diverse process systems
  • Develop and own comprehensive Basis of Design (BoD) documents, process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping & instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), specifications, operating sequences, and construction-ready design packages
  • Serve as the technical authority on process design decisions, confidently justifying approaches to leadership and executive teams
  • Define and enforce environmental classifications, cleanliness standards, and atmospheric control requirements (e.g., dew point, particulate levels, temperature/humidity) for dry rooms and clean rooms
  • Conduct capacity planning, risk analysis, and lifecycle cost assessments for large-scale capital infrastructure projects
  • Lead or facilitate process hazard analyses (PHA), HAZOP reviews, and design reviews across all process systems
