Data Analyst, New Product Introduction (Model Y) - Austin, Tx

What To Expect
We're the New Product Introduction Team at the one of the world’s largest manufacturing facilities located in Austin, TX. This small but fast-growing central team helps coordinate cross functional teams to leverage the data we collect. We help product and process engineers through direct support by doing data analysis and understanding how they need to align on managing change.
We're looking for a talented individual to join us in providing leadership in the definition and implementation of processes and tools to enable data science at Tesla. Your work will affect Tesla engineers and production teams daily, the profitability of the company, as well as improve the functionality of products we produce now and in the future. In this position, you will be responsible for retrieving, analyzing, and summarizing results to share with cross-functional teams.
As a data scientist on the New Product Introduction team, you will be responsible for architecting and designing the data interactions and dashboarding, that prevents errors from occurring as we manage change to drive improvements in our world class products. We are looking for a leader who is goal-oriented, results driven, and data-centric.
Data is deeply embedded in the product engineering and manufacturing culture at Tesla. We rely on data – lots of it – to improve, to optimize, to proactively detect, to allow the right decisions to be made, at the right time.
What You’ll Do

• Build data pipelines to promote your ad-hoc data analyses into production dashboards that engineers can rely on
• Answer complex questions on change impact to manufacturing
