What to Expect

To build a world of amazing abundance, Tesla needs to deploy its clean energy products – from electric vehicles to battery packs to robots – at unprecedented scale. All of these energy products require a wide array of refined materials that form the backbone of the future electrified economy. Tesla’s Refining organization is directly working to make this future a reality. Specifically, the Technical Programs team helps manage and execute capital projects that unlock production of critical minerals, materials, and chemicals that enable Tesla to vertically integrate, secure supply, and lower costs of final products. If you are a highly motivated and purpose-driven Project Engineer ready to solve novel problems and build projects on a shattering scale, this is your moment. At Tesla, Project Engineers wear lots of hats: supporting early-stage engineering, managing external vendors, conducting cost tradeoffs, and tracking project schedules. In other words, Project Engineers on the Technical Programs team are the glue that keeps the teams aligned and the engine that drives the organization forward to deliver its value to Tesla.

What You’ll Do

Project Management: Define and track action items, facilitate meetings and distribute clear notes and decisions, and promote transparency and communication across workstreams

Engineering Coordination: Track front-end engineering deliverables, ensuring they properly communicate technical specifications required for downstream activities. Additionally, facilitate cross-functional engineering reviews with the proper stakeholders

Equipment Procurement: Support with procurement and tracking of capital equipment across the project

Schedule Tracking: Develop and enforce an engineering schedule with the pilot development, commercial technology, and infrastructure teams to ensure timeliness of project execution and delivery

Vendor Relationships: Conduct activities with external engineering partners and equipment providers, ensuring timely delivery of deliverables to support internal discipline team activities

Scope Ownership: Take projects and problems from concept all the way through to completion, documenting key outcomes along the way and formally handing off to downstream owners when complete

Process Engineering: Develop process flow diagrams, simulation models, mass/energy balances, and other calculations to progress the project from basic engineering into procurement and detailed design

Technical Design: Support with miscellaneous process engineering, mechanical design, or general engineering tasks as needed to maintain progress on critical project activities
