What to Expect

Client 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

  • 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
  • Develop and deploy 2D/3D vision and measurement systems from proof-of-concept to deployment on high-volume battery manufacturing lines
  • 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

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ 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, OpenCV, C++, other)
  • Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or equivalent experience
  • (Bonus: Experience with data analysis, image processing, or industrial communication protocols is a plus.)

Why You ll Love This Role

  • Work on cutting-edge manufacturing and shape the future of energy technologies
  • Combine hardware, software, and data to solve complex automation problems
  • Collaborate with a small, high-impact team within a global manufacturing network
  • See your designs go from concept to factory deployment in record time
