Internship Tesla Assembly Line Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Lead end-to-end industrialization of Range's electric trailer systems, from prototype through pilot production and into high-volume manufacturing

Develop and own manufacturing process documentation including DFM/DFA analyses, process FMEAs, control plans, and work instructions

Collaborate closely with product engineering to ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability, quality, and cost targets

Establish production tooling, fixtures, and assembly line design to support scaling operations

Lead manufacturing readiness reviews (MRR) and production readiness reviews (PRR) for new programs

Identify, qualify, and manage strategic manufacturing partners, contract manufacturers, and suppliers across the supply chain

Serve as the primary on-site liaison at contract manufacturers-managing day-to-day operations including IQC support, material clearance for builds, work instruction verification, and escalation of progress updates and bottlenecks to HQ

Travel regularly (up to 50%) to supplier sites, contract manufacturers, and partner facilities across North America and internationally

Maintain and verify MES data accuracy against design requirements; ensure process parameters, routing, and BOM structures are correctly reflected in the manufacturing execution system

Manage all MES-relevant attributes and ensure process compliance to design requirements

Partner closely with Supplier Industrialization Engineering (SIE) and broader quality functions to ensure alignment on supplier quality standards, process validation, and production readiness

Partner with quality engineering to establish incoming inspection, in-process quality controls, and final acceptance criteria

Initiate and drive corrective action requests (CARs) for design or process nonconformances; ensure root cause analysis and effective containment through to closure

Oversee deviation requests and engineering change implementation across manufacturing sites; ensure changes are validated, documented, and incorporated into production without disruption

Define and track key manufacturing KPIs including yield, cycle time, throughput, and cost metrics

Drive continuous improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, and other manufacturing best practices

Build and mentor a manufacturing engineering team as Range scales its operations

10+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, industrialization, or related roles, with at least 3 years in a leadership or program ownership capacity

Proven track record of taking complex electromechanical or automotive systems from prototype through production launch

Deep familiarity with automotive, commercial vehicle, or heavy equipment manufacturing processes and supply chains

Hands-on experience with DFM/DFA, FMEA, PFMEA and structured quality and manufacturing methodologies

Strong supplier development and contract manufacturer management experience

Experience with tooling, fixturing, and assembly line design and optimization

Excellent project management skills with the ability to drive multiple workstreams simultaneously in a fast-moving environment

Comfortable operating with ambiguity and a startup mindset - you're as comfortable on the shop floor as you are in a design review

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field; Master's degree a plus

Experience in electric vehicles, electromechanical systems, or adjacent industries strongly preferred

Ability and willingness to travel up to 50% of the time

Partner with the supply chain organization to design and implement a robust material flow strategy.

Promote a safe and successful launch for every build by championing CTB (Clear to Build) initiatives.

Coordinate with SIE, Supply Chain, and other cross-functional partners to build the necessary infrastructure for part handling, disposition, and MRB between suppliers and contract manufacturers.

Provide on-site leadership for initial builds while taking full ownership of the Lessons Learned documentation process.

Establish a reliable cadence of progress reporting and bottleneck escalation from CM sites to HQ

Drive timely closure of corrective action requests with measurable reduction in repeat nonconformances

Experience in electric vehicles, electromechanical systems, or adjacent industries

Experience managing offshore or international contract manufacturers

Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification
