Process Supervisor, Optimus

Tesla is seeking a highly motivated individual to lead, support, and manage a team of process technicians in our journey to enable world class manufacturing of Tesla's cutting-edge humanoid AI robot.

• Oversee a team of technicians to troubleshoot yield loss, repair/rework, documentation, and accurate material inventory management in a rapidly evolving BOM and manufacturing process. The operation to learn is as large as the operation to build and requires an effective communicator to allow seamless flow of information in a 24/7 operation on a compressed work-week shift

• Track and report critical production data from management of non-conforming WIP, create categorizations such as process complexity, part quality, and other sources of production pain points to aggressively improve efficiency of the operation

• Develop and maintain strategies for effective team skillset versatility

• Develop effective training methodologies to support production associate onboarding and certification to highly complex assembly processes in a dynamic environment

• Associate's Degree in Science, Business, Engineering, Technology or equivalent experience. Prior Process Engineering, End-of-line repair, or Remanufacturing career history highly preferred

• Ability to work and lead effectively with team and peers within a manufacturing organization

• Enthusiastic, innovative, and take-charge attitude. This candidate can add value independently and set the team's priorities based on competing and urgent priorities

• Demonstrated history of documenting team's versatility and developing team skillsets in assembly and repair

• Ability to follow a template to provide clear, valuable metrics and critical information between shifts for seamless operations and shared learning. Categories include rate, output, safety, and quality
