Cabin Validation Engineer, Material Planner - Fremont [276290]

$91,600 - $195,600 yearly

Job Description

The Cabin Validation Engineer (Material Planning) is responsible for ensuring prototype and production-intent components and sub-assemblies are delivered from multiple manufacturing sites to test labs to support design validation needs across multiple vehicle programs. Unlike full-scale production planning, this role is focused on validation builds, moving the right parts to the right lab at the right time so that system and part testing stays on schedule. This individual must understand Tesla's supply chain and the cabin commodities they support, such as Seating Systems, Instrument Panels, and Headliners, and must coordinate allocation, logistics, inventory control, packaging, and shipping of test hardware. They

will manage supply and constraints, report status and escalate risks, engage suppliers and internal build teams, and relentlessly pursue operational excellence and continuous improvement. The role is cross functional and global in scope, partnering with Design Engineering, Validation, Quality, Supply

Chain, and Logistics. You will report to the Manager of Cabin Validation within Tesla's Cabin Engineering team and will be based in Fremont, California.

The Role

  • Plan and allocate prototype and validation parts from multiple factories to multiple test labs across multiple vehicle programs based on the DVP (Design Validation Plan) from engineers, and deploy the resulting demand and supply requirements to the supply base to meet build and test timing
  • Travel for boots-on-the-ground operations to factories, warehouses, suppliers, and test labs to understand constraints across locations and standardize systems for maximum efficiency
  • Coordinate logistics, packaging, and shipping of

test hardware between suppliers, factories, and labs, including international

and expedited shipments

  • Manage allocation of constrained parts across

competing programs and test requests, prioritizing to protect critical

validation milestones
