Tesla is currently seeking a motivated and accomplished Industrial Engineerto lead the design and analysis for Factory Design material flow projects. This role requires strong industrial engineering fundamentals and the ability to apply first principles thinking to design material handling systems. This role must quantify concept-level layout options, which will necessarily involve working with ambiguous inputs. Ultimately this role works to create, develop, and maintain simulation models for current and future programs. This position is based in Austin, TX. The team is responsible for developing a factory design which supports seamless integration between production, packaging, material flow, supply chain, 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 overall factory design achieves all of Tesla's objectives.
- Display a positive attitude and practice strong work ethics that reflects the mission, philosophy and goals of Tesla
- Develop detailed material flow models for new and existing products to project material flow headcount, assess congestion, execute on buffer quantities, and ensure overall feasibility
- Create 3D dynamic simulation models to design bulk material handling systems in detail while considering all other flows/disruptions that may share its path
- Work with internal manufacturing engineering teams to ensure that equipment and layout designs align with the overall material flow plan and vision for the factory
- Own design of layouts for each element of a material handling system
- Ensure a cadence of layout integration to simulation models throughout the factory
- Create monthly reports for factory bottlenecks and areas of risk
- Develop keep-out zones for material handling paths and anticipated equipment while a factory launches utilities and support space
- 2 years of industrial or manufacturing engineering experience with emphasis on layout and/or material flow (internship experience may be considered)
- BS or MS Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering and/or equivalent experience
- Extensive detailed material flow analysis experience to make data-driven decisions and summarize results for executives
- Deep understanding of material delivery methods (i.e. powered industrial equipment, automated guided vehicles, conveyor, rail-guided vehicles) and strategies (i.e. forklift-free)
- Extensive experience with 3D discrete event simulation software (FlexSim preferred)
- Demonstrated leadership and ability to drive projects with diverse teams in a high volume manufacturing environment
- Experience quantitatively solving ambiguous factory design problems at a systems level
- Exemplary verbal and written communication skills
- Experience with layouts in AutoCAD or Revit
- Experience in C based coding languages
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with diverse and high throughput material handling challenges
- Experience with implementing and improving manual and automated handling system
- Experience with C based coding languages
- Experience with Catia, Solidworks, Revit
- Experience working in simulation consulting or dedicated simulation internal organizations
