Make sure you start off at a lower position
Make sure you start off at a lower position
Pay is really good at Tesla. It's enough to be able to take one position lower than what you're used to, in order to learn the equipment and give yourself some breathing room. Then, you can apply for the higher position maybe 6-12 months later.
Difficult to do school unless you're on C/D shift.
Learn more about machine design and integration. Don't have interns design full machines, or people without a background in it.
Also, experienced people should be on nights, and inexperienced people on days, where they'll have more support.
