Mechanical Engineer, Technical Service, Vehicle Manufacturing

Tesla is accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy. Revolutionary strategies and products were developed within a few years and successfully launched on a large scale. This is only possible through extraordinary speed, innovation and efficiency. The Gigafactory Berlin forms the perfect basis for rolling out Tesla's incredible success story in Europe. The most important pillar for this are our employees. Their passion, motivation and engagement ensure that we achieve our goals. We are looking for you to continue and expand this success story together.

The Role

The Technical Services Team for Vehicle Manufacturing continuously monitors and manages utility systems ensuring that they meet the process specifications for vehicle production. When there are degradations to these systems that impact safety or production, the team is the first line of defense to make time-critical adjustments. The team is also responsible for continuously designing and implementing strategies/improvements to ensure optimum performance of utility systems, working on energy saving projects and driving reliability initiatives for a continuous OEE improvement.

As a mechanical engineer your scope will comprise a wide variety of machinery: centrifugal chillers, large turbo compressors, cooling tower systems, boilers, pumping systems, large air handling units, extraction systems, centralized vehicle fluids delivery systems are among some of the assets that you will be managing.

•  Assist/lead the troubleshooting of system operational issues.
• Complete monthly system operational cost analysis.
• Develop and implement predictive and preventive maintenance strategies/programs for systems.
• Review trends, analyze data, and monitor equipment/systems to identify trends and ensure they are running within specifications.
• Develop and lead projects based on operational expansion needs, energy cost reduction targets and OEE (reliability) improvement requirements.
• Responsible for monitoring current system data demands and utility capacity concerns.
• Develop solutions to reduce operational costs and/or o improve operational performance of utility systems.
• Create & modify standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Assist with coordinating installation and commissioning of new systems in the Gigafactory.
• Train facilities personnel on new systems and correct operations.
• Apply Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) concepts and root cause failure analysis.
• Work with EHS Team to ensure/resolve local environmental and safety compliance of systems.
