Cybercab Manufacturing Process Engineer

What to Expect Join the mission to launch Cybercab, Tesla's revolutionary fully autonomous Robotaxi, on the most advanced automotive manufacturing lines in the world. As a Cybercab Process Engineer, you won't just support the lines… you will own them. You become a key individual partnering with cross-functional teams, to execute, and relentlessly optimize processes during the high-stakes ramping phase.

You'll drive Tesla's novel Unboxed manufacturing method, the groundbreaking approach that breaks the vehicle into major modules built in parallel on open, highly accessible stations before final joining. This isn't traditional automotive assembly. This is a radical, high-speed, modular manufacturing revolution, redesigned to shrink footprints, and unlocks blistering production rates.

These lines are loaded with cutting-edge automation and robotics. You'll lead the deployment of advanced equipment process, focussing on quality/efficiency/safety targets, and execute an aggressive production ramp that few in the industry will ever experience. You'll turn the most ambitious vehicle Tesla has ever built into reality at scale.

This is an opportunity to own world-class lines, master Unboxed manufacturing, and help write the next chapter of the automotive history.

What You'll Do Own one or multiple Manufacturing lines end-to-end: define, launch, and continuously optimize processes on the most advanced automotive lines ever built, with a heavy focus on automation and the novel Unboxed manufacturing method

Lead process optimisation for modular, parallel Unboxed flows. Maximizing efficiency, safety, quality, and speed

Own process documentation excellence: FMEAs, control plans, manufacturing instructions, and more

Conduct cycle time analysis, line metrics, and OEE improvements while enabling an aggressive production ramp
