What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Manager, Security Systems position at Tesla?
The Security Engineering (SecEng) team is responsible for designing, installing, and maintaining Access Control, Video Surveillance, and Intrusion systems across all Tesla corporate, manufacturing, production, and sales environments. The goal of our team is to ensure all current and future Tesla facilities are equipped with the necessary security systems that are critical for the safety of our employees as well as public visitors. As Tesla continues to grow at a rapid speed, our responsibility to provide and maintain the proper security systems to all new locations continues to increase.

You will play a critical role in executing impactful company-wide initiatives as our team strives to continuously improve the effectiveness and resiliency of Tesla security systems across the organization.
The right fit for our team will be a highly motivated, self-sufficient candidate who will be accountable for their work and communicate their goals and objectives effectively to drive key results. They will provide insight and bring creative solutions to potential problems that they may encounter. The ideal candidate must be highly detail-oriented, a lifelong learner, and be able to break through communication barriers in a way that builds trust and creates strong relationships with all our partners.
