Manufacturing Process Development Engineer - Fremont [265691]

$91,600 - $164,400 yearly

Job Description

We're seeking elite engineers to develop advanced manufacturing processes for next-generation battery cells — the beating heart of every Tesla product. These cells will help make clean energy more affordable and widespread, supporting our mission to speed up the shift to sustainable energy and abundance.

In this role, you'll own and develop one or more laser welding processes for cell assembly. You will collaborate with teams from design, build & test equipment, quality, vendors, and others — to create fixtures, run experiments, measure, analyze, iterate, and validate. You'll turn parts into finished cell products that power real change.

Expect a fast-paced environment with real challenges and tight deadlines, where your ideas matter and success depends on strong first principles problem-solving and teamwork. Our team values clear communication, understanding others' views, hands-on approach, and continuous learning. You'll work alongside experts, new talent, and leaders from across Tesla, growing your capabilities every day while staying focused on our shared goals.

The Role

  • Design and develop laser welding manufacturing processes starting at lab-scale to ultimately enable high-volume production of cell products with improved quality, reduced costs, and increased efficiency
  • Hands-on engagement with manufacturing / test equipment and automation development
  • Design and run experiments to identify key process parameters; optimize processes to improve process capability, quality, and yield; decrease cycle time
  • Use software tools to develop predictive insights into tool and process performance to unlock manufacturing performance and improve safety while reducing cost
  • Work independently and with vendors to understand root cause of failures, propose design or component changes, equipment modifications, ultimately implement and validate process changes
