  • Support the team with general administrative duties that keep operations running smoothly, including scheduling coordination support, status tracking, data entry/integrity, and facilitating clear handoffs
  • Communicate status, blockers, documentation gaps, and process improvement opportunities clearly and proactively to technicians, engineers, and leadership
  • Help maintain organized digital and physical admin systems while adhering to company safety, quality, and compliance standards
  • Act as a reliable advisor on administrative best practices to help the technical team stay focused on robot diagnostics, repair, and validation work

What You'll Bring
  • Strong ability to be dynamic and adaptable in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment; comfortable shifting priorities and supporting multiple stakeholders simultaneously
  • Excellent technical writing and documentation abilities, with a proven track record of creating clear, accurate, and usable documents, guides, logs, and reports
  • Experience maintaining organized records, knowledge bases, and administrative processes (familiarity with Jira, Confluence, or similar collaboration/documentation tools preferred)
  • High attention to detail and strong sense of ownership for data integrity, documentation quality, and process compliance
  • Ability to work collaboratively alongside technical teams (technicians and engineers), communicate effectively, and serve as a supportive advisor
  • Comfortable in a high-tempo lab or service environment; positive, solution-oriented attitude with proactive communication of status and needs
  • Experience with robotic systems, mechatronics, complex electromechanical systems, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, or similar technical environments preferred
  • Strong organizational and multitasking skills; ability to manage documentation workflows and other support duties efficiently
  • Proficiency with standard office and collaboration tools; willingness to learn internal Tesla systems quickly
