Process Engineer, Production Control, Energy

Tesla is seeking a motivated Process Engineer to support Gigafactory New York's Production Control Team. This role focuses on the end-to-end design, configuration, and sustainment of raw material flow, from concept design to launch and audit. This role will design, implement, and model labor requirements, measure success, audit results, and continuously improve the storage and flow of materials at Gigafactory New York.

This role requires a solid understanding of warehousing fundamentals. It is critical for a successful candidate to solve problems using first principles analysis and exercise aggressive design optimization and data to justify design and improvements.

The Process Engineer will be responsible for developing and improving the current factory process and design, which supports seamless integration between production, raw goods storage, and material flow. Innovation is expected through a detailed understanding of high-level factory objectives and extensive collaboration with internal and external teams.

The ideal candidate will excel in a demanding and fast-paced environment where they will work as part of a strong, agile, and highly motivated team to accomplish some of the most ambitious projects being attempted in any industry today. They will take pride in their thoroughness, analytical ability, organizational skills, and team mentality. In addition, the candidate will be able to think at a systems level about ambiguous problems and use strong logic to develop models that drive optimal solutions and decisions.
