A Process Engineer will implement,develop, and optimize production methodologies in the Energy Cell manufacturingoperations of Tesla. This engineer will be responsible for optimizing productflow through process optimization that may include tool /fixture selection,line layouts, ergonomic study, material presentation, 5s, Kaizen, Gemba, Sixsigma and other relevant factors. They will interface with design, test, andquality engineering to solve problems, improve manufacturability, and implementcontinual improvement. They will sustain products with cost reduction and yieldimprovements. In addition, the process engineer will work with quality tocompile and evaluate data to determine appropriate limits and variables forprocess or material specifications.
