Custom automation machinery and production-line engineering for high-volume manufacturing
Tesla Automation designs and builds custom automated production systems for automotive and industrial manufacturing. The tech stack—Solidworks, CATIA, Fanuc, Beckhoff PLCs, and Siemens Plant Simulation—reflects a hardware-first engineering culture focused on mechanical design, industrial controls, and factory-floor commissioning. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering and manufacturing roles, with a notable cohort of interns and senior technicians, indicating both structured capability-building and high-skill retention demands in a capital-intensive, project-delivery business.
Notable leadership hires: IT Support Lead, Electrical Assembly Lead
Tesla Automation GmbH, headquartered in Prüm, Germany with sites in Neutraubling and Neuwied, manufactures highly automated production systems and machinery. The company traces its roots to Grohmann Engineering (founded 1983) and was integrated into the Tesla manufacturing ecosystem in 2016. With 1,001–5,000 employees, the organization operates across engineering, manufacturing, logistics, and operations. Current projects span process development, collision-avoidance systems, 2D/3D machine vision, electrical documentation, and production-line commissioning. The business is capacity-constrained—expansion and optimization of functional processes remain persistent challenges.
Solidworks and CATIA for CAD design, Siemens Plant Simulation for process modeling, Beckhoff and Fanuc for PLC/robotics control, CNC and SPC for machining, SQL Server for data, Python for scripting, and Ignition for HMI/SCADA systems.
New process development, machining strategies, collision avoidance, product tracking, 2D/3D machine vision, electrical documentation for production lines, and production-line commissioning and setup.
