Responsibilities

  • Your application for the Industrial Engineering Internship will be considered across all opportunities for the teams listed below:
  • As an intern on the Supplier Quality team, you will be responsible for critical component development, quality management, continuous improvement, and qualification activities at suppliers. The job requires effective communication at all levels both with internal and external teams, conducting failure analysis, leading statistical process control activities for critical components, limited travel to in-region suppliers, and on-the-spot critical decision making. You will drive improvements utilizing Lean methodologies, Statistical Process Control, supplier scorecards, ensuring supplier compliance, whilst driving systematic problem solving and process improvement plans to deliver value, and set priorities for suppliers. You will develop positive relationships and work closely with the Supply Chain Team to manage, implement and track supplier/engineering, design changes, capacity studies, New Product Introductions, and transfers.
  • As an intern on the Supplier Industrialization team, you will be responsible for critical component development and qualification activities at suppliers. The job involves communicating well with internal and external teams, traveling to suppliers in different regions, and on-the-spot critical decision making. You will evaluate the design for manufacturing risks and identify the feasibility of Manufacturing processes such as Dispensing, Pick and Place, Screwing, Laser welding, and other critical manufacturing processes. You will lead internal program reviews for major NPI (New Product Introduction) projects (Gantt chart, milestone tracking, and escalation meetings) such as: Engineering development phases tracking, DFM (Design for Manufacturability) tracking, Product Yield monitoring, and Daily program issue reporting. You will lead the data collection activity, sometimes hands-on in the field, to develop a data collection plan and DOE (Design of Experiments) plan to identify relationships between Input and output factors, to root cause of potential performance drift of a product.
  • As an intern with our Industrial Engineering team, you will either work on projects involving suppliers or process improvement for manufacturing or material flow. The job involves communicating well with internal and external teams and on-the-spot critical decision making. You will plan, direct and conduct industrialization related activities within the supply chain team. You will develop, manage, audit and correct supplier planning and execution of component manufacturing, assembly, and quality processes. You will collaborate with Tesla Design, Quality, and Manufacturing to determine the ideal performance specification and supplier metrics and validate supplier corrective actions involving design and/or process changes to ensure they are robust, sustainable, and implemented across potential manufacturing lines. You will lead supplier improvements in scalability, cost, and quality and validate suppliers to ensure their ability to meet part performance, delivery and reliability expectations.
