Technical Project Engineer, Service Tooling

About the role

• Technical Project Engineer, Service Tooling | Tesla (Vehicle Service)
• Location: FREMONT, California | Req ID: 285109 | Job Type: Full-time
• What to Expect

Service Tooling runs many hardware programs at once — vehicle launches, Semi, Optimus, automation — with a small engineering group. The Technical Project Engineer keeps those programs real: suppliers, dates, releases, and the status leadership uses. You need enough technical judgment to see when a date is not true.

What You'll Do

• Coordinate across programs: what is in flight, what is blocked, and what has to land for a launch
• Drive vendor and PO work — quotes, samples, delivery — without waiting to be chased
• Keep a live picture of risk and progress the team will actually use. Do not rebuild status the night before a recap
• Work with mechanical, electrical, and field engineers so the plan matches the hardware, not a slide
• Put finished tools through the field-release path (documentation, catalog, procurement) when they are ready
• Be someone the team and partner orgs can check with on program status

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering or equivalent experience on technical hardware programs
• 3+ years coordinating engineering projects that include design, suppliers, and a field or factory customer
• You have closed vendor work from PO through delivery, not only tracked it on a list
• Ability to provide clear status updates in writing, such as telllng a director what is late and why in a short note
• Enough CAD and drawing literacy to follow the design even if you are not the designer
• First-principles on schedules. You will push back when a plan assumes something that is not true
