The Project Engineer, New ProductIntroduction is responsible for supporting the development of new processes andcarrying out each trial exactly to the established product specification. Thisrole will be supporting our Powerwall product at our Nevada Gigafactory. This includes managing the program from earlyprototype builds through to the launch of the production line. The primaryrole of the Project Engineer will be to test and validate systems and partsinvolved in product development and manufacturing to ensure products are of thehighest quality. To support this, the Project Engineer will also establishvalidation standards, develop testing protocols, prepare equipment, documenttest results and maintain records. The Project Engineer will identify, report,and adjust equipment or processes that require improvement. The ProjectEngineer will collaborate with safety, design, product excellence, changecontrol, manufacturing, and service departments.
