Mobile Robot Process Technician, Cybercab, Production Control

What to Expect

As a Production Control Autonomous Mobile Robot Process Technician at Tesla, you'll collaborate on the implementation and continuous improvement of automated internal material logistics conveyance via AMRs. The role involves executing operational checks, troubleshooting software and hardware issues, improving fleet efficiency, and upholding the accuracy and reliability of our automated material flow systems. Through true cross-departmental teamwork, our technicians and process engineers design, implement and Improve conveyance methods, AMR requirements, lineside and warehouse layouts, and replenishment methods to deliver materials effectively and safely to the line.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct AMR delivery readiness checks at the start (SOS) and end of shift (EOS), including safety pre-checks, 5S compliance, and equipment readiness; prepare workstations for seamless shift handoffs and execute emergency response protocols to minimize downtime and risks
• Monitor, track, and coach team members on key performance metrics; perform periodic audits of material flow and inventory accuracy using MFS to support just-in-time operations
• Perform first-level troubleshooting on AMR processes, hardware, and software; conduct basic maintenance such as sensor cleaning and inspections; escalate complex issues to Process Engineers, Maintenance, or Software Support teams
• Complete detailed end-of-shift pass-down reports documenting downtime, safety incidents, equipment issues, quality concerns, material shortages, and operational feedback in Tesla’s tracking systems
• Analyze processes and implement improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency, safety, productivity, and cost-effectiveness; recommend system enhancements to optimize AMR fleet performance
• Master internal systems, including MFS, OM (Overmind), and CAD layouts; leverage AMR data analytics to predict failures and implement preventive measures for long term reliability

What You’ll Bring

• 2–3 years of experience in manufacturing, warehouse operations, or material handling, with hands-on exposure to automated systems such as AMRs, AGVs, conveyors, or robotics preferred
• Proficiency in troubleshooting hardware and software issues, with basic knowledge of automation tools (e.g., sensors, fleet management software) or a strong willingness to learn
• Practical experience with operational checks, inventory management, and layout design (e.g., lineside or warehouse setups), using tools like Excel and PowerPoint to record, monitor, and analyze data
• Strong analytical skills to evaluate processes, identify inefficiencies, and implement improvements that streamline material flow and eliminate non-value-added activities
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively across departments and provide actionable feedback for continuous improvement
• Demonstrated adaptability in dynamic, fast-paced manufacturing environments, with flexibility for varying shifts while maintaining high standards of safety, reliability, and World Class Manufacturing
