Engineering Program Manager, Megapack

Tesla’s Energy Engineering group is looking for a highly motivated individual to program manage existing and new design engineering for Industrial Energy Products, including the Megapack and Powerpack. This is a cross‑functional role that requires coordination between many different groups within and outside of Tesla. You will interface with design engineering, manufacturing engineering and operations, supply chain, compliance, reliability, safety and field operations to define and drive development of new product programs while also managing change on existing programs.

As part of the design engineering team, you will be immersed in the design and manufacturing engineering process and will shepherd projects from concept through to prototype validation and then production ramp. You will use your engineering background to understand the product and manufacturing requirements, manage technical risks and define validation and integration strategies that accelerate the development and manufacturing bring‑up process. You will communicate and present program status, highlight schedule risk and develop recovery plans in the event of project slip.

As an Engineering Program Manager, you will be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy on your programs while contributing to the development of tools and processes that improve the organization’s productivity. You will be based out of the Bay Area (Palo Alto) with the expectation of some travel to our manufacturing facilities in California, Houston or China, as program needs dictate.

What You’ll Do

• Work with Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering and Operations, Facilities and Construction, Reliability, Safety, Compliance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing and other supporting functions to identify and scope projects for key Industrial Energy Product design and manufacturing.
• Manage product cost down and quality improvements.
• Create, maintain, communicate and present schedules to the engineering leadership team covering engineering design, validation and manufacturing readiness.
• Facilitate build planning and execution across prototype, pilot and production phases; track part readiness, build health and validation completion.
• Manage change control and configuration management, ensuring smooth transitions across design iterations and build phases.
• Prioritize the engineering team’s work based on risk, resources and payback.
• Identify creative ways to overcome obstacles and meet the schedule despite setbacks.
• Refine processes, tools and templates that will improve risk and change management across energy programs.
