What to Expect What You’ll Bring
In 2016 Elon released: The Master Plan, Part Deux. In this plan he highlighted the need to integrate energy generation and storage by through solar deployment with seamlessly integrated battery storage. Tesla delivers energy products to customers and businesses globally via a complex set of related processes, including sales engineering and demand generation, solar system design, coordination with local building department and utilities, on-site physical construction and inspections, and global manufacturing and supply chain. Successful operations requires process optimization, both within these areas and across them. Successful execution will result in happy customers, high quality products, reduced costs, and short cycle times. As a Process & Quality Engineer within residential energy you will drive process improvements that result in high quality product and services. Developing, deploying and validating changes to maximize throughput and first pass yield metrics. You will work closely with the internal direct business to roll out new products and processes with an eye towards sharing and scaling through our channel business.
What You’ll Do - Track performance metrics, prioritize top issues and drive continuous improvement activities with cross-functional team for residential solar installations
- Create process maps and models, and use them to inform rigorous process simulations
