Staff Manufacturing Engineer Optimus Hands Process Development

Lead a team of 20+ Engineering Technicians in the Humanoid AI Robot program, driving the build, repair, and sustainment of prototype robots and sub-systems. You'll own shift schedules, hands-on building, and documentation for the first iterations of Optimus. Oversee daily operations in a 24/7 environment, balancing technical challenges with team development. This role blends mechatronics leadership with direct involvement in testing and analysis, ideal for a self-starter who thrives on open-ended projects.

Tesla seeks a Manufacturing Engineer to lead installation commissioning and ramp of high-volume Optimus assembly lines. This role involves collaborating with factory safety maintenance and production teams to launch lines achieving target rates and yields. Candidates must demonstrate proven experience launching new products at high volume in demanding fast-paced environments. Join Tesla to shape the future of AI robotics.

Senior Technical Program Manager on the Optimus Manufacturing Engineering team drives design build and launch of high-volume manufacturing lines for humanoid robots. Own programs from concept to completion managing scope schedule cost and execution across assembly lines in global Tesla facilities. Coordinate design engineering manufacturing controls testing software quality construction and production to align team goals with company priorities. Translate scattered information into a clear message remove roadblocks before they impact the program and drive the team toward production targets that push the limits of what is physically possible. The key objective is to develop new and innovative manufacturing lines in the factory to achieve ambitious production goals. All processes will be initially planned assembled and tested at Tesla facilities.

You will own the mechanical design and build of integrated lab systems that scale materials synthesis and characterization at Periodic Labs. You'll turn vague, early-stage problems from scientists into clear requirements and build-ready hardware, working alongside AI agents and multidisciplinary teams. This role spans concept through fabrication, assembly, and operational bring-up, with hands-on building and vendor management. You'll define engineering culture here: deep, ambitious, and tightly coupled to scientific work at a fast-growing AI and physical sciences company.
