Technical Program Manager, Cell Manufacturing

What to Expect

Tesla’s 4680 team’s goal is to change the cell manufacturing industry by making the most energy dense and cost-effective battery cells in the most cutting edge, compact and energy efficient factories in the world. Tesla is looking for a highly motivated Technical Program Manager to help manage the deployment of capacity expansion projects and validate our factory engineering designs and processes.

This individual will be responsible for supporting the design and execution of 4680 cell production factories as part of the Factory Development team. The successful candidate will have a background in running technical projects/programs and be eager to carry out a variety of engineering and project management tasks from factory concept derivation, utility modelling/forecasting, creating/maintaining schedules and in-field co-ordination of contractors and Tesla personnel.

The individual will possess the ability to use (or rapidly learn) project management software such as Primavera (P6) to plan out Factory upgrades / expansions while being eager to learn about how cells are manufactured and how factories are built.
