ESD Program Manager

What To Expect

The role of the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Program Manager is to develop and implement a world-class ESD control program across Tesla's global manufacturing operations. They will join a small team of subject matter experts who develop cost-effective and efficient ESD controls for new manufacturing lines, quantitatively validate these controls, and handover to operations teams.

What You'll Do

• Execute ESD risk assessment by identifying high-risk processes, developing control strategies, and communicating to manufacturing engineering stakeholders
• Complete process characterization and validation during factory acceptance testing (FAT) and site acceptance testing (SAT)
• Develop process documentation, such as PFMEA and control plan, and communicate to sustaining team stakeholders
• Develop, implement, and maintain Tesla's ESD control program in collaboration with Tesla's ESD program manager
• Drive global ESD control program compliance by engaging with local facility ESD teams and ESD coordinators
• Draft, review, and publish ESD technical standards, procedures, templates, training, and documentation (e.g., lessons learned, best practices, etc.)
• Identify and qualify ESD control items and materials for use within the program, and maintain the ESD approved material list
• Provide technical consultation relating to electrically induced physical damage (EIPD), electrical over-stress (EOS), and/or ESD
• Identify gaps, improvements, and expansion opportunities for Tesla's ESD control program
• Up to 25% travel to global Tesla and/or supplier facilities

What You'll Bring

• Experience developing and/or implementing ESD control program(s) based on industry standards (including ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC 61340-5-1, ESD TR53, etc.)
• Experience as a hands-on quality, process, or manufacturing engineer working in a high-volume and pilot manufacturing environment
• Experience generating process quality, technical specifications, and/or training documentation
• Experience applying structured problem-solving methodologies (e.g., DMAIC, 5 Whys, Fishbone, and 8D)
• Experience applying electrical theories and concepts (i.e., resistance, voltage, current, and electric charge & fields)
• Experience using electrical and/or ESD-specific measurement equipment (i.e., multimeters, data loggers, resistance meters, electrostatic field meters, charged plate monitors, and electrostatic voltmeters)
• Bachelor’s Degree in Science (Physics), Engineering (Electronics, Electrical), related technical field, or equivalent experience
