Sr. Technical Program Manager, Cell Electrode

Tesla's Cell Manufacturing
Engineering group is looking for a highly motivated individual to technical
program manage exciting new manufacturing engineering projects. This is a
fast-paced, cross-functional role that requires seamless coordination across
numerous internal and external teams. You will drive the development and
deployment of new internal manufacturing lines while managing the scale-up of
new programs-tackling complex, multifaceted challenges with swift, decisive
action to deliver results under tight timelines while driving measurable
outcomes, optimizing key performance metrics, and consistently achieving
ambitious production targets.

You will lead manufacturing
projects from concept through design, installation, integration, ramp, and
handover to production. Drawing on your technical engineering expertise, you
will quickly analyze line, equipment, process, and product requirements;
identify and mitigate technical risks; and shape deployment and ramp strategies
to create a clear manufacturing program plan. You will proactively communicate
program status, spotlight schedule risks early, and act decisively to develop
and execute recovery plans that keep projects moving forward to ensure
sustained high-performance results.
