Tesla plans to the event online starting at 7 p.m. Shanghai time (1100 GMT) and will be recruiting for roles in "smart manufacturing," according to the online publication.
Tesla continued with an online recruitment event in China on Thursday, adding two dozen new job openings in the country a week after Elon Musk threatened to cut jobs at the electric car maker also said the company was "overstaffed" in some areas.
Tesla plans to have the event online starting at 7 p.m. Shanghai time (1100 GMT) and will be recruiting for roles in "smart manufacturing," according to the online publication.
Tesla has 224 vacancies currently in China for managers and engineers in this category, according to a separate publication on its WeChat account, 24 of which were recently published on June 9.
The announced positions include managers and engineers tasked with overseeing the operation of the 6,000-tonne injection molding machine known as the Giga Press, one of the largest in the world.
Tesla regularly hosts similar online recruitment events in China, most recently in May for summer interns.
Tesla's sales in China doubled year-on-year in 2021, accounting for a quarter of the US automaker's total sales.
The Shanghai factory, which makes the Model 3 and Model Y for domestic sale and export, produced more than half of the cars it had last year, and Tesla is also planning to expand the plant.
However, production at the plant was severely affected by Shanghai's two-month COVID-19 lockdown, which led to a 22-day shutdown and then struggled to return to full display. Tesla had planned to increase production at the plant to 22,000 cars per week by mid-May.
Musk, the chief executive, said in an email by Reuters last week that he had a "horrible feeling" about the economy and needed to cut 10 percent of the automaker's workforce. The email was titled "Pause All Rentals Worldwide."
In another email to employees on Friday, Musk said Tesla would reduce the number of employees by 10% due to being "overstaffed in many areas," but added that "the number of employees per hour will increase."
However, he dropped the email on Saturday, saying the total number of employees would increase over the next 12 months, and the number of employees would change little. Musk did not comment specifically on staff in China.
Musk compared American workers to workers in China last month, saying American workers were more likely to avoid working until Chinese workers left factories.
