What To Expect
Tesla Semi is seeking a Materials Planner to support a new product ramp in a highly dynamic, launch-focused environment. This role is critical to building, stabilizing, and executing material planning and request-to-ship processes across RC builds, commissioning, and launch preparation.

The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in ambiguity, understands end-to-end material flow, and is capable of helping define structure, ownership, and escalation paths across Engineering, NPI, Production Control, Logistics, and Warehousing. This is not a purely transactional role; it requires systems thinking, strong cross-functional alignment, and proactive problem solving.

Support and help define the end-to-end material planning and execution model for RC builds, commissioning, and pre-production activities

Own material request intake, tracking, and fulfillment coordination for non-production, prototype, and commissioning parts and identify gaps in material readiness, visibility, or process and proactively propose structural improvements

Drive clarity on ownership, handoffs, and escalation paths across NPI, Engineering, Production Control, Logistics, and external warehouses while

Develop and execute material management strategies for prototype and RC builds, including replenishment, sequencing, validation, and availability

Coordinate closely with Engineering and NPI to manage evolving BOMs, part revisions, pedigree requirements, and change control

Support the transition of material planning processes from RC builds into PV and launch, minimizing rework and operational debt while ensuring timely material availability to support build schedules, commissioning activities, and quality validation

Maintain accurate material status, risks, and priorities, and communicate clearly to stakeholders

What You'll Bring

Degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, or equivalent experience

3-5 years of relevant experience in materials planning, production control, supply chain, or logistics within a manufacturing or launch environment

Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities in fast-paced, ambiguous conditions

Strong systems thinking with the ability to understand material flow end-to-end, not just individual transactions

Experience working cross-functionally with Engineering, NPI, Operations, and Logistics

Strong analytical skills; proficiency in Excel and data-driven decision making

Clear communicator with a collaborative, problem-solving mindset with a high sense of ownership, accountability, and attention to detail
