Athletic Trainer

The Certified Athletic Trainer/Injury Prevention Specialist, a member of the Ergonomics Team based at Giga Factory Nevada, focuses on setting the right conditions of work - from manufacturing and maintenance to sales and service - such that all Tesla employees can achieve and sustain healthy high work performance.
