The role requires independent technical leadership across Product Design, Hardware, Software, Global Supply Management, Supplier Industrialization, Reliability, Tesla factory, and the display suppliers.

What You'll Do

• Own the end-to-end delivery of display modules for assigned vehicle programs as the program DRI, making key technical decisions and driving program milestones to completion
• Manage display suppliers as the primary technical contact, leading display module design, development, and issue resolution with minimal supervision
• Define the display module architecture and lead system integration strategy for new programs
• Define and own the display ERS (Engineering Requirements Specification) in collaboration with functional leads for design, process, and reliability
• Lead supplier Design Reviews, define review criteria, track action items, and drive timely closure
• Define build specifications and version control strategy for engineering builds and production ramp
• Lead the cross-functional display development team including ME, EE, FW, OE, EPM, Supplier Industrialization, Supply Chain, and Reliability engineers
• Review and assess characterization, measurement, and test results from functional leads and display suppliers, making go/no-go decisions on program readiness
• Drive root cause analysis for display-related issues across functional leads and suppliers, and own corrective action plans to closure
• Ensure display deliverables are met for engineering builds and initial production ramp
• Represent the display subsystem in vehicle-level technical forums (Vehicle Integration, Thermal, EMC) and resolve system-level integration issues
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior display engineers on module development best practices
• Address issues from initial ramp and field returns related to displays

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Physics, Materials Science, or related field. Master's degree or PhD preferred.
• 10+ years of display development and product delivery experience, with demonstrated track record of leading programs from concept to mass production
• Deep understanding of display technologies (LCD, OLED, LED, HUD), display module construction, frontend and backend manufacturing processes, reliability, and quality
• Proven experience managing external display suppliers as a technical lead, including leading Design Reviews and driving supplier development
• Strong technical judgment with the ability to independently assess test data, failure analysis results, and make program-level decisions
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive alignment across engineering disciplines
• Experience with automotive or consumer electronics product development lifecycle
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to present technical findings and recommendations to senior leadership
• Familiarity with data analysis and visualization tools (Python, Matlab, or equivalent) is a plus
