What To Expect Tesla is currently seeking a motivated Manufacturing Engineer with expertise in discrete event simulation modeling to design the material flow for Global Factory Design projects. This role focuses on the end-to-end design of material flow, from concept design through handoff of a fully detailed plan to Operations. This role will design the material inbound process, provide material handling equipment needs, specify equipment to minimize manual handling, and ensure the lineside space is efficiently designed. This role requires an understanding of Manufacturing Engineering fundamentals with a solid proficiency in simulation modeling. It is critical for a successful applicant to solve problems using first principles analysis, and exercise aggressive design optimization.
The team is responsible for developing a factory design which supports seamless integration between production, material flow, construction, and facilities teams. Innovation is expected. Through a detailed understanding of the high-level factory objectives and extensive collaboration with the internal and external teams designing individual factory components, this team ensures that the factory design as whole achieves all of Tesla’s objectives.
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. A successful applicant will take pride in their thoroughness, analytical ability, organizational skills, and team mentality. The candidate will be able to think at a systems level about ambiguous problems and use strong logic to develop models that drive optimal factory design decisions.
What You'll Do
Display a positive attitude and practice strong work ethics that reflects the mission, philosophy and goals of Tesla
Develop End to End Material Flow Simulation Model for the entirety of the Bill of Materials for new products and new factories/expansions, while optimizing variables such as factory space, labor and throughput
Design and implement custom modules, objects, and FlexScript / C++ solutions for tailored simulations for complex material flow models
Perform Capacity Planning calculations to ensure accurate resource & equipment planning for the designed system such as material handling labor, warehouse space and material handling equipment
Challenge the assumptions behind manufacturing designs, and base recommendations of design on first principles approach
Collaborate with cross functional teams such as layout, production control, infrastructure, manufacturing design, etc., to ensure the right strategies of material flow designs are implemented and evaluate solutions for complex comparison scenarios in manufacturing environments
Create and maintain digital twin models to test and validate factory operations, warehouses and material flow system designs
Perform clash detection analysis for material flow routes in the factory footprint to ensure smooth flow of materials
What You'll Bring
2+ years of industrial, or manufacturing engineering experience with emphasis on discrete event simulations for material flow/supply chain/process improvement (internship experience will be considered)
Degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Computer Science and/or equivalent experience
2+ years of hands-on experience in simulation modeling, particularly using FlexSim in a manufacturing or warehousing environment (academic experience will be considered)
Experience with developing features and modules within discrete event simulation software with FlexScript, C++ and/or Visual Basic (VB)
Demonstrated leadership and ability to drive projects with diverse teams in a high-volume manufacturing environment
Experience quantitatively solving ambiguous problems at a systems level
Extensive detailed analysis experience to make data-driven decisions and summarize results for executives
Exemplary verbal and written communication skills
Extensive experience with Excel (VBA a plus) and data visualization/analysis software such as Tableau, SQL
Experience with layouts in AutoCAD and Revit
