Manufacturing Engineer - Plastics Paint
Company: Tesla Motors
Location: fremont
Posted on: May 3, 2021
Job Description:
The RoleThe successful candidate will have technical knowledge
and Manufacturing Engineering experience within a high-volume
manufacturing environment - specifically, experience in managing
new product and technology introductions, equipment projects (new
installations) and process optimization, upgrades and
modifications. In addition to developing manufacturing equipment
and processes, Manufacturing Engineers work with cross-functional
teams throughout the entire product lifecycle. You will work
closely with Design Engineering, Quality and Production to take new
vehicle designs or design changes from initial concept through
prototype development and into full production. Knowledge and
experience of project life cycle from FEED through to equipment
handover is essential. Experience in automotive paint processes is
preferred in an operations, maintenance or design
capacity.Responsibilities* Lead manufacturing line design and
launch - bid package development, vendor selection, front-end
engineering design, design reviews, fabrication, acceptance
testing, construction, installation, commissioning and handover to
operations.* Manage project execution to ensure they are delivered
to scope, on time and on budget. Procure equipment, track budget
costs, and project schedules.* Develop initial manufacturing
strategies for new projects by performing detailed feasibility,
project timing, cost estimate and return on investment (ROI)
studies.* Participate in engineering activities with the product
design team ensuring that flexible, cost effective, robust and
reusable processes and equipment are implemented.* Provide
technical support for the assessment of different manufacturing
scenarios.* Identify, investigate, test and validate new innovative
technology and work methods for future implementation (e.g. virtual
manufacturing environment, product feasibility simulation,
throughput simulation).* Support sourcing activities including
identification of potential suppliers and technical evaluations of
quotations.* Iterate engineering design to meet functional
requirements and lead vendors through mechanical, electrical and
software design reviews.* Install, commission and start-up
equipment, balancing speed and safety.* Ensure manufacturing lines
meet uptime, availability and reliability metrics - OEE, cycle
time, quality and first time through.* Develop and deliver training
to operations and maintenance technicians to ensure and seamless
handover of new equipment.* Coordinate continuous improvement
measures to ensure that project lessons learnt are captured and
knowledge is transferred across the team and organization.* Ensure
that all equipment, processes and methodologies comply with
applicable standards, company policy and all Health and Safety
Laws, Acts, Regulations and Codes.* Travel is expected - e.g. for
vendor visits, equipment installation and
commissioning.Requirements* Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical,
Electrical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Chemical Engineering.*
Manufacturing Engineering experience across all phases of a product
program (from concept planning through to execution).* Proven
project management experience.* Proficient in Microsoft Office
suite of programs.* Experience designing automated manufacturing
equipment is advantageous* Proficient in 3D CAD tools and
Simulation tools (CATIA, Delmia, and Witness or similar such as TC,
Process Designer, Process Simulate would be considered an
advantage).* Good overall people management skills.* Exemplary
verbal and written communication skills.Knowledge of all four of
the following ME categories is preferred.Equipment:* Experience
with design for manufacturability* Proficiency in Part Datum
strategies* Proficiency designing mechanical equipment, fixtures
and tooling in CAD (Catia is a plus).* Proficiency in mechanical
assembly (pros and cons in assembly methods)* Experience developing
standard operating procedures and maintenance procedures.*
Knowledge of a breadth of industrial equipment not limited to
pumps, motors, fans, burners, robots, and/or conveyors.Process:*
Experience creating process documentation* Proficiency in writing
PFMEAs* Knowledgeable about production quality metrics is
advantageous* Experience developing standardized work
instructions.* Experience with line layout, development and
optimization.Infrastructure:* Experience managing interfaces
between line equipment and facilities.* Understanding utility needs
of manufacturing lines e.g. power, air, water, gas.* Experience
assessing energy input/output of equipment lines.Instrumentation,
Controls & Electrical:* Experience in electrical and software
reviews.* Experience commissioning equipment from install, loop
checks through to power up and handover.* Knowledge of Siemens and
Allen Bradley PLC languages is needed.* Experience with HMI and
SCADA design is preferred.* Understanding of electrical design and
standards.
