Supplier Industrialization Engineer, High Voltage Electronics TLA

What To Expect We are looking for an aspiring Engineer to join the Tesla High Voltage Electronics Top Level Assembly Supplier Industrialization Engineering team. This team is involved in the entire product life cycle of several product developments with a focus on High Voltage Electronics TLA Modules. As a crucial member, you will provide Design for Six Sigma analysis, drive high‑precision manufacturing process development, lead supplier selections, coach suppliers using a data‑driven approach for problem solving, ensure on‑time delivery, solve product quality issues, and implement corrective actions. What You'll Do Conduct New Product Introduction (NPI) at suppliers, design a scalable, cost‑effective, and quality manufacturing process that involves dispensing, robotic pick and place, and automated screwing at supplier. Responsible for the industrialization and design characterization of high‑voltage electronic modules (e.g., inverters, relays) to simplify manufacturing. Validate 2D and 3D CAD mechanical drawings, execute and embed Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) principles, collaborating with the design engineering team in early design stages. Engage in tolerance stack‑up and Monte Carlo simulations to identify design vulnerabilities and forecast potential production issues, relaying insights to the design team. Steer supplier industrialization and TLA manufacturing process formulation at the Request for Quote (RFQ) stage, ensuring all aspects of the process and industrialization design align with Tesla specifications. Specify Critical to Quality (CTQ) and New Unique Difficulty (NUD) elements in product and process design, pushing suppliers toward robust process control. Improve supplier yield outcomes using advanced data analysis and quality tools; work with internal test, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and reliability teams (internal or external) to instigate corrective measures and enhance yield. Develop supplier quality metrics and act as a technical interface with Tesla’s field quality and factory quality departments to tackle Supplier Corrective Action Requests (SCARs). Evaluate new tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers for power electronics assembly, gauge their capabilities, and facilitate their integration. Lead the Production Part Approval Process at the supplier prior to mass production of the product. What You'll Bring 5 years’ experience in supply‑chain management, preferably in electronics TLA. Degree or equivalent experience in Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field. Experience in Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), tolerance stack‑up analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and other quality tools. Solid knowledge of statistical analysis tools and applications (e.g., JMP, Minitab). Proficiency in GD&T and 3D CAD software; CATIA preferred. Previous experience in Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP). Supplier development and management experience. Self‑motivation, the ability to work independently, hands‑on, and readiness to work in a fast‑paced environment. Domestic and international travel expected up to 50% of the time to engage with contract manufacturers, sometimes on short notice. Benefits Medical plans with plan options and $0 payroll deduction. Family‑building, fertility, adoption, and surrogacy benefits. Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both with $0 paycheck contribution options. Company‑paid Health Savings Account (HSA) contribution when enrolled in a high‑deductible medical plan with HSA. Healthcare and dependent‑care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). 401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits. Company‑paid basic life and AD&D. Short‑term and long‑term disability insurance (90‑day waiting period). Employee Assistance Program. Sick and vacation time (flex time for salary positions, accrued hours for hourly positions) and paid holidays. Back‑up childcare and parenting support resources. Voluntary benefits including critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance. Weight loss and tobacco cessation programs. Tesla Babies program. Commuter benefits. Employee discounts and perk program. Expected Compensation $88,000 – $162,000 annual salary plus cash and stock awards and benefits. Pay may vary depending on market location, job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include other elements dependent on the position offered. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment. #J-18808-Ljbffr Tesla
