Sr. IT Engineering & Delivery Engineer

As an IT Engineering & Delivery Engineer (TPM) at Tesla Giga Shanghai, you will own the end-to-end lifecycle management of IT software systems—spanning development, testing, and delivery—while also steering the planning and execution of IT infrastructure construction projects. You will partner closely with global and local technical teams to ensure seamless synergy between software products, manufacturing digital systems, and IT infrastructure, driving IT operations excellence and fueling growth across all IT-enabled business functions, all while upholding Tesla’s rigorous standards for quality and efficiency. Responsibilities 1. Software System Development & Testing Leadership • Own the development roadmap, test execution, and deployment of business-critical systems, including business support platforms, IoT applications, and edge computing solutions. • Lead

gathering and solution design, bridging business stakeholders and development teams to translate on-site operational needs into actionable technical blueprints, alongside robust development plans and test strategies. • Oversee the full software testing lifecycle—from unit, integration, and system testing to User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Establish standardized test case repositories and defect resolution workflows to ensure software functionality, performance, and security align with Tesla’s global benchmarks. • Drive continuous software iteration and optimization, leveraging business feedback to enhance system adaptability and stability, and accelerate the factory’s digital transformation journey.

   IT Infrastructure Construction & Cross-Functional Delivery • Lead IT infrastructure planning and deployment across factory construction, expansion, and new production line rollouts, covering network architecture, data center buildouts, server provisioning, end-user devices, physical security systems, and IoT device integration. • Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders (Engineering, Facilities, EHS, Manufacturing, and Security teams) to align IT infrastructure delivery timelines with master construction schedules, ensuring the hardware environment fully supports software deployment and operational demands. • Manage outsourced construction vendors and on-site teams, enforcing strict controls over quality, safety, and cost. Champion on-site standardization—including wiring protocols, rack layout, asset labeling, and document management best practices. • Oversee end-to-end integration and debugging between software systems and infrastructure, resolving compatibility issues to guarantee stable, post-deployment system performance.

3. 03

   Digital Project Execution & Technology Innovation • Lead the rollout of AI, IoT, and automation-driven digital projects, such as intelligent terminal application development, robot fleet management systems, computer vision algorithm deployment, and predictive maintenance platform implementation, to embed cutting-edge technology into manufacturing operations. • Collaborate with Tesla’s global IT teams to align system architecture, data security protocols, and technical standards, ensuring software and infrastructure solutions adhere to the company’s global technical framework. • Serve as the critical link between technology and business, driving manufacturing process optimization through software feature enhancements and strategic hardware resource allocation, boosting production efficiency and digital management maturity.

4. 04

   Project Governance & Process Optimization • Establish a unified project management framework covering the full lifecycle of both software (development-testing-delivery-operations) and infrastructure (planning-construction-acceptance) initiatives. Define clear milestones, budget guardrails, risk mitigation protocols, change management procedures, and documentation standards. • Proactively identify lifecycle risks—such as software development delays, hardware compatibility gaps, or cross-team collaboration bottlenecks—and design targeted mitigation plans to ensure on-time, on-budget, and quality-compliant project delivery. • Continuously refine project execution workflows, scaling Agile development, modular testing, and other lean methodologies to enhance cross-team collaboration efficiency and communication transparency. • Own the long-term lifecycle management of IT projects, supporting post-launch system maintenance, version upgrades, and infrastructure modernization to ensure sustained, reliable IT support for business operations. Qualifications Basic Requirements • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, Automation, or a related engineering field. • 5+ years of IT project management experience, with a minimum of 2 years in software development/testing management, plus 1–2 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing/factory IT infrastructure projects. • Deep expertise in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), with proven proficiency in Agile (Scrum), Waterfall, and other project management methodologies. Ability to independently develop comprehensive development plans and test strategies. • Solid knowledge of IT infrastructure architecture (networks, servers, data centers, IoT devices, etc.), with a clear understanding of software-hardware integration principles. Skilled at coordinating cross-functional software and hardware project resources. • Strong project management acumen, including expertise in project planning, risk management, budget control, and cross-stakeholder communication. PMP or Agile certification is a plus. Preferred Technical Skills & Experience • Familiarity with manufacturing digital systems (e.g., MES, FX, equipment connectivity platforms) and hands-on experience in custom production line software development, testing, and deployment is highly preferred. • Prior experience in edge computing, industrial AI computer vision, or IoT platform implementation is a strong advantage. • Proficiency in software testing tools and defect management platforms (e.g., Jira) and experience with automated testing is preferred. • Excellent English communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with global technical teams. • A results-driven mindset with strong ownership and execution capabilities, capable of independently leading complex software-hardware integration projects in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
