Sr. Laser Process Development Engineer - Fremont [259441]

$91,600 - $164,400 yearly

Job Description

Tesla is seeking a highly motivated Senior Laser Process Engineer to develop, engineer and innovate new laser processes and high-volume automation equipment with the cell manufacturing team in Fremont, CA. Specifically, this engineer is expected to be (or become) a process expert in the field of laser welding & cutting applications, including work in both lab environment and transfer of processes to high volume manufacturing. You will take ownership of new process development and process optimization for pilot-scale and mass production equipment - leading experiments, data analysis, and process characterization. You will also support the technical transfer of processes and tools to production, ensuring they meet the highest standards of safety, quality, and throughput. You will work closely with internal teams including Product Design, Controls, Operations, Quality, and Production Engineering and will coordinate with equipment suppliers to develop scalable innovations in laser processes and tools. This role will be based in Fremont, CA but would function as a global expert of these systems, so some international travel will be required.

The Role

  • Develop novel laser processes and select laser process equipment
  • Design and execute experiments to evaluate and optimize laser processes
  • Analyze process data to identify key parameters, trends, and equipment performance
  • Develop hypotheses and theories to explain observed process phenomena and validate them through structured experimentation
  • Perform measurement system analysis (e.g., Gage R&R, bias, linearity) to ensure inspection reliability
  • Support design, commissioning, and validation of pilot and production equipment
  • Manage installation, qualification and ramp-up of manufacturing equipment including (but not limited to) systems with laser processes
