What to Expect

Tesla’s Battery Manufacturing team is seeking a Manufacturing Vision Engineer to design and scale advanced inspection and control systems for next-generation battery products. You’ll work on automation processes that directly improve battery performance, quality, and cost, collaborating with world-class engineers in a fast-paced, hands-on environment. This position will help drive technological advancement in this area as part of a small, specialized team. Battery development is at the heart of Tesla, and this is an exciting opportunity to work directly on the central challenges with electric vehicles – battery cost and performance. Tesla is a demanding and fast-paced environment where you will work with a highly motivated team on extremely challenging projects.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and deploy 2D/3D vision and measurement systems from proof-of-concept to deployment on high-volume battery manufacturing lines
• Guide cross-functional selection of optimal measurement or detection strategy and provide vision interface Design for Manufacturability (DFM) input to product designers
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Design, Controls, Quality and Equipment teams to define optimal inspection strategies, DFM and PFMEA feedback
• Lead proof-of-concept and prototype validation for new vision technologies (Keyence, Cognex, Halcon, OpenCV, etc.)
• Drive process optimization through data analysis, repeatability testing, and equipment validation
• Establish standard methods, libraries, and best practices for machine vision applications across factories
• Occasional domestic and international travel to Tesla factories and supplier sites

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of experience in automation, machine vision, or metrology (manufacturing environment preferred)
• Hands-on experience developing and validating 2D/3D vision applications (Cognex, Keyence, Halcon, OpenCV, etc.)
• Demonstrated experience in the development and implementation of high-volume 2D and 3D machine vision (Keyence, Cognex, Halcon, other) – application design, programming, validation, and troubleshooting
• Experience with one or more additional measurement and inspection technologies: (optical sensors, diodes, profilometry, laser measurement, optical scanning, optical metrology, LVDT, CMM, thermal imaging, ultrasonic measurement, X-ray, other)
• Programming experience with one of more common languages (Python, C#, C++, other)
• Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Mechatronics, or equivalent experience
• Bonus: Experience with data analysis, image processing, or industrial communication protocols
