Manufacturing Engineer, Electrostatic Discharge Job at Tesla in Austin

Tesla Manufacturing Engineers have the important role of designing "The machine that builds the machine". We work with cross-functional teams (Design, Quality, Production, Sustaining, and Supply Chain) throughout the entire lifecycle of a product (from initial design through prototype development and into full production) to develop high quality and efficient manufacturing equipment and processes that will produce the power electronics and batteries inside our vehicle and energy products.The role of the Manufacturing Engineer (ESD) is to develop and implement a world-class ESD control program across Tesla's global manufacturing operations. They will join a small team of subject matter experts who develop cost-effective and efficient ESD controls for new manufacturing lines, quantitatively validate these controls, and handover to operations teams. The ideal candidate is data-driven, excels at complex problem solving, has a strong manufacturing and systems-based mindset, and can lead cross-functional teams to identify and eliminate potential quality risks. The candidate should have a proven track record of problem solving, manufacturing engineering, quality system implementation, and/or ESD expertise applied to manufacturing environments.Location: Austin, TX or Fremont, CAResponsibilities Execute ESD risk assessment by identifying high-risk processes, developing control strategies, and communicating to manufacturing engineering stakeholdersComplete process characterization and validation during factory acceptance testing (FAT) and site acceptance testing (SAT)Develop process documentation, such as PFMEA and control plan, and communicate to sustaining team stakeholdersDevelop, implement, and maintain Tesla's ESD control program in collaboration with Tesla's ESD program managerDrive global ESD control program compliance by engaging with local facility ESD teams and ESD coordinatorsDraft, review, and publish ESD technical standards, procedures, templates, training, and documentation (e.g., lessons learned, best practices, etc.)Identify and qualify ESD control items and materials for use within the program, and maintain the ESD approved material listProvide technical consultation relating to electrically induced physical damage (EIPD), electrical over-stress (EOS), and/or ESDIdentify gaps, improvements, and expansion opportunities for Tesla's ESD control programUp to 25% travel to global Tesla and/or supplier facilities Requirements Experience developing and/or implementing ESD control program(s) based on industry standards, including ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC 61340-5-1, ESD TR53, etc.Experience as a hands-on quality, process, or manufacturing engineer working in a high-volume and pilot manufacturing environmentExperience generating process quality, technical specifications, and/or training documentationExperience applying structured problem-solving methodologies such as DMAIC, 5 Whys, Fishbone, and 8DExperience applying electrical theories and concepts, including resistance, voltage, current, and electric charge & fieldsExperience using electrical and/or ESD-specific measurement equipment, including multimeters, data loggers, resistance meters, electrostatic field meters, charged plate monitors, and electrostatic voltmetersBachelor's Degree in Science (Physics), Engineering (Electronics, Electrical), related technical field, or equivalent experience Compensation and Benefits BenefitsAlong with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire: Aetna PPO and HSA plans > 2 medical plan options with $0 payroll deduction Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution Company Paid (Health Savings Account) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High Deductible Aetna medical plan with HSA Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) LGBTQ+ care concierge services 401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits Company paid Basic Life, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability insurance Employee Assistance Program Sick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions), and Paid Holidays Back-up childcare and parenting support resources Voluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance Weight Loss and Tobacco Cessation Programs Tesla Babies program Commuter benefits Employee discounts and perks program
