Product Manager, AI Adoption, Megafactory

The Product Manager, AI Adoption role at Tesla Energy Manufacturing is focused on supporting the deployment, adoption, and continuous improvement of AI-powered manufacturing tools across energy facilities.

About the role

We are seeking a Product Manager, AI Adoption to coordinate cross-functional deployments, conduct user research on the production floor, run internal innovation programs, and track adoption outcomes across various organizational layers.

Responsibilities

• Run the operating rhythm of AI adoption programs across Energy manufacturing sites: milestone tracking, stakeholder coordination, and deployment scheduling
• Execute phased adoption programs across organizational layers (frontline supervisors and technicians, business and office functions, and site leadership), tailoring rollout playbooks to each audience
• Conduct user research on the production floor: operator interviews, shift walk-throughs, and structured feedback sessions; synthesize findings into actionable product improvements that engineering can act on
• Own the AI adoption product roadmap end-to-end: define problem statements, write product requirements, prioritize against user impact and business outcomes, and make tradeoff calls with engineering
• Build and maintain adoption dashboards and program health metrics: weekly active users, training completion, and outcome KPIs across every deployment site
• Build product partnerships across engineering, production, quality, factory software, EHS, and supply chain (your internal customers) to secure sponsorship, unblock launches, and earn the right to expand
• Run discovery programs such as cross-functional hackathons to surface new product ideas from the field, validate concepts fast, and convert the strongest pilots into roadmap commitments
• Design the activation experience: onboarding flows, in-product guides, training content, and deployment playbooks that turn first-time users into power users and compound every rollout
• Communicate product strategy, release outcomes, site status, and adoption performance through clear program updates and cross-functional briefings to engineering teams and manufacturing leadership

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Computer Science, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 0–3 years of experience in product management, program management, operations, or a related field; manufacturing or industrial experience is a plus
• Genuine interest in AI tools and how they can improve manufacturing operations; prior hands-on experience is not required, but demonstrated curiosity and a willingness to learn quickly are essential
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams, track milestones across sites, and communicate progress clearly to diverse stakeholders
• Comfort conducting user research and translating qualitative feedback from factory-floor operators into structured product insights and requirements
• Clear written and verbal communication skills; you can write a crisp status update for a senior leader and a practical how-to guide for a production technician, and you know the difference
• Data literacy sufficient to read dashboards, interpret production KPIs, and work with engineering and operations teams to define and track meaningful adoption metrics
• Able to operate with composure in a fast-moving production environment where priorities shift with output targets and ramp schedules
• Willingness and ability to travel approximately 50% of the time to Tesla manufacturing sites to support on-the-ground deployments
