Software Product Manager, Manufacturing Design Technology

Manufacturing, tooling, and facilities engineers design the machinery, tooling, and factory layouts that build Tesla vehicles, and the software they use needs a product owner who understands that work firsthand. Design Technology, which is part of Vehicle Engineering, builds the internal tools that thousands of engineers use every day.

• Drive rollout, training, and adoption, and measure whether shipped tools changed how engineers work

• Represent manufacturing requirements in work with software vendors, including Dassault Systèmes

• Hands-on experience in manufacturing, process, or tooling engineering, ideally in automotive or high-volume production

• Experience running cross-functional projects or rolling out software or process changes to engineering or production teams
