During my time at Tesla, I had the privilege of working with the Cell Manufacturing Team at the Austin GigaFactory, contributing to the development of the world’s most advanced battery, the 4680 Dry Electrode Cell (Cybercell). As part of the Electrode – Cathode team, I worked in the slitting department, directly involved in the precision manufacturing processes of Tesla’s cutting-edge battery technology.

​

One of my key responsibilities was optimizing high-speed manufacturing equipment, which allowed us to reduce the biggest factor of daily unplanned downtime by 26%, leading to a significant increase in production throughput. Collaborating with some of the most talented engineers in the world, I helped drive process improvements by integrating Lean Six Sigma methodologies, boosting machine uptime by 4.7% and generating over $95,000 in daily production value.

​

The challenges I encountered pushed my problem-solving skills to new heights. From the design and fabrication of custom components like mounts, guards, and sensors, to mistake-proofing production workflows to improve product quality, every day was an opportunity to innovate and refine Tesla’s revolutionary production strategies. Working hands-on with the Cybercell, I gained a deep understanding of large-scale production and advanced automation techniques that are shaping the future of sustainable energy.
