Manufacturing Test & Equipment Engineering Technician – Tesla – Richmond Hill, ON

Tesla’s Richmond Hill, Ontario facility is looking for a skilled Manufacturing Test & Equipment Engineering Technician to join a team that designs and builds high-power, automated testing equipment for batteries and power electronics. If you thrive in a hands-on technical environment and want to contribute to the development of products used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, this role puts you at the heart of that work.

Working closely alongside engineers, you’ll be involved in the full lifecycle of custom test equipment — from early-stage prototyping through to validation and deployment at production facilities around the world. This is a role where your electro-mechanical skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple projects will be put to good use every single day.

About the Role: Manufacturing Test & Equipment Engineering Technician

This position centres on electro-mechanical assembly, including electrical and control panel wiring, mechanical frame and fixture assembly, and bench-level test setup. You’ll be building equipment directly from complex manufacturing documentation — drawings, schematics, and both written and verbal instructions — and assisting with troubleshooting during build, validation, and deployment phases. There’s real variety here, with involvement in everything from conceptual development and prototyping to procurement support and inventory management.

Collaboration is central to how this team operates. You’ll work across cross-functional teams including engineering, manufacturing, and operations, and you’ll also support the installation and bring-up of test equipment at Tesla facilities and contract manufacturers, which may involve domestic and international travel.

Benefits and Salary

Tesla offers competitive hourly compensation across multiple Engineering Tech levels, ranging from $23.41–$35.11/hour (Tech I) up to $43.12–$64.68/hour (Tech V), plus cash and stock awards. As a full-time employee, you’re eligible for benefits from day one, including company-paid Health, Dental, Vision, Life, and Disability insurance, an RRSP with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, parental success programs, an Employee Assistance Program, sick and vacation time, paid holidays, the Tesla Babies program, and Tesla product and fitness perks.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll be hands-on from day one — assembling equipment, troubleshooting systems, and supporting deployments both locally and at sites around the world. The work spans the full build process, requiring technical precision, strong organizational skills, and the ability to pivot between projects without losing focus on quality or safety.

• Perform electro-mechanical assembly tasks including electrical and control panel wiring, mechanical frame and fixture assembly, and bench-level test setup and validation
• Build equipment from complex manufacturing documentation such as drawings, schematics, and written or verbal instructions
• Assist with mechanical and electrical troubleshooting during build, validation, and deployment phases
• Participate in early-phase conceptual development and equipment prototyping
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining strong organization and attention to detail
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, manufacturing, and operations
• Support procurement, inventory management, material handling, and package pickup
• Support deployment, installation, and bring-up of test equipment at Tesla facilities and contract manufacturers

Requirements / Skills

The ideal candidate brings solid hands-on experience in control panel building and manufacturing equipment, along with a strong foundation in both mechanical and electrical systems. Tesla values technicians who are comfortable working with high-power systems, reading technical documentation, and operating in environments that demand both precision and adaptability.

• 4+ years of experience building control panels and/or manufacturing equipment
• Expertise in mechanical systems, production machinery, industrial sensors, and automation equipment
• Proficiency in reading mechanical drawings and electrical schematics
• Experience with test equipment including digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and variable DC power supplies
• Hands-on knowledge of pneumatic and fluid systems, as well as high-voltage AC and DC systems
• Competency with shop tools (drill press, band saw, hand tools) and soldering/crimping wires of various gauges
• Cable management and high-density wire routing skills
• Ability to lift 20–40 lbs. daily while maintaining a safe working environment
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and willingness to travel domestically and internationally
• Knowledge of UL 508A and NFPA 79 standards and prior equipment deployment experience is an asset
