  • Module and rack-level system integration (mechanical, thermal, electrical, and software co-design)
  • RDIMM, HBM, SSDs,  and other high-speed memory technologies, custom storage platforms
  • Cooling solutions (liquid, cold plates, thermal interface materials, airflow systems)

Own the full sourcing lifecycle

  • Drive RFQs, contract negotiations (NDAs, GTCs, piece pricing), and supplier onboarding
  • Develop and manage long-term strategic agreements that deliver cost, quality, and delivery advantages
  • Ensure compliance with Tesla’s industrialization standards and landed cost targets

Partner with engineering teams to define technical requirements and validate supplier capabilities:
