What to Expect
Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg marks a defining moment in Europe for Tesla’s mission of accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy. Here we will launch revolutionary products on a massive scale, using extraordinary speed, innovation and efficiency. Our employees will ensure that we achieve our goals, and we welcome you to help us write the next chapter of our success story. As a Reliability Engineer you play a key role in the lifecycle of our facilities.The primary focus is to determine the reliability of components, equipment and processes to help avoid breakdowns and help sustain high levels of productivity and efficiency and help minimize the risk and impact of failure in equipment and processes.

What You’ll Do

• Design maintenance strategies, procedures and methods for the HVAC system
• Carry out routine maintenance work and respond to equipment faults
• Diagnose breakdown problems
• Fit new parts and make sure equipment is working correctly
• Carry out quality inspections on jobs
• Control maintenance tools, stores and equipment
• Monitor and control maintenance costs
• Deal with emergencies, unplanned problems and repairs
• Improve health and safety policies and procedures
• Ensure there is continuous cover of the machinery and equipment in case of breakdowns.
• Works with Project Engineering to ensure the reliability and maintainability of new and modified installations. The Reliability Engineer is responsible for adhering to the Life Cycle Asset Management (LCAM) process throughout the entire life cycle of new assets.
• Participates in the development of design and installation specifications along with commissioning plans. Participates in the development of criteria for and evaluation of equipment and technical Maintenance Repair and Operations suppliers and technical maintenance service providers. Develops acceptance tests and inspection criteria.
• Participates in the final check out of new installations. This includes factory and site acceptance testing that will assure adherence to functional specifications.
• Guides efforts to ensure reliability and maintainability of equipment, processes, utilities, facilities, controls, and safety/security systems
• Professionally and systematically defines, designs, develops, monitors and refines an Asset Maintenance Plan that includes:
• Value-added preventive maintenance tasks
• Effective utilization of predictive and other non-destructive testing methodologies designed to identify and isolate inherent reliability problems
• Provides input to a Risk Management Plan that will anticipate reliability-related, and non-reliability-related risks that could adversely impact plant operation.
• Develops engineering solutions to repetitive failures and all other problems that adversely affect plant operations. These problems include capacity, quality, cost or regulatory compliance issues. To fulfill this responsibility the Reliability Engineer applies:
• Data analysis techniques that can include:
• Statistical Process Control
• Reliability modeling and prediction
• Fault Tree Analysis
• Weibull Tree Analysis
• Six Sigma (6σ) Methodology
• Root-cause and Root-Cause Failure Analysis (RCA, RCFA)
• Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS)
• Applies value analysis to repair/replace, repair/redesign, and make/buy decisions.

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of experience in field engineer/project engineer roles with a focus on mechanical systems/industrial processes.
• Intermediate knowledge of mechanical engineering principles and industrial process systems including: chilled/cooling and heating water distribution networks, compressed air networks, rotary equipment (pumps, fans, compressors), HVAC. Hands-on experience on rotary equipment maintenance and diagnosis is a benefit.
• Strong troubleshooting background and issue resolution.
• Strong data and system analysis.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills.
• Intermediate project management skills.
• Proven ability to work in a large, complex environment where you must adapt to meet company needs.
