Join to apply for the Associate Industrial Engineer (m/w/d) - Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg role at Tesla

What To Expect

A successful industrial engineer willuse his/her process improvement experience to quantitatively assess currentproduction/business system performance and execute change to reduce cost andoptimize capacity. This role demands excellent communication and interpersonalskills as well as a holistic understanding of manufacturingoperations. Industrial engineers will not only execute onchange, but also prioritize projects based on opportunity. Industrialengineers will work independent across departments with production, design,quality, finance, supply chain, demand planning, production planning, andvarious engineering teams to improve factory operations and reduce cost. Asuccessful IE team member will balance short-term tactical improvement withlong-term business process and systems improvement.

What You'll Do

• Identify, quantify, compare, and execute production process improvements to drive safety and ergonomics, quality (firstpass yield), availability (uptime), performance (cycle time variability), capital utilization, and demand attainment.
• Evaluate and document value-add (VA), non-value-add (NVA), and non-value-add-but-necessary (NVABN) time requirements of manual and automated processes utilizing standard templates, software, and methods.
• Define required to operate (RTO) Headcountbudget and On-Roll targets by shop.
