About the Job

Requirements

At least 2 years of experience in a technical metrology or dimensional role, or equivalent.
Experience creating and programming laser or vision gap-and-flush measurement equipment is required, including building and teaching programs rather than only operating them.
Hands-on experience measuring gap and flush, seal gaps, striker-to-latch alignment, and door closing effort using a speed gauge is required.
Experience performing Measurement System Analysis, including Gage R&R, bias, linearity, and stability studies on dimensional gauging, is required.
Working knowledge of CM4D and measurement-to-report data flow, with the ability to collaborate with CM4D technicians to maintain clean and consistent data.
Experience interpreting GD&T part drawings to ASME Y14.5 or ISO 1101, including datum reference frames, profile, and position, is required.
Working knowledge of SPC, including Cp, Cpk, percent in-tolerance, and dimensional trend interpretation.
Experience maintaining and calibrating measurement equipment and managing spares, purchase orders, and backup readiness.
Ability to perform physically demanding work for up to 12 hours a day; stand and walk for extended periods over varied and uneven terrain; frequently lift, push, and carry up to 35 pounds, including carrying 20 pounds up and down stairs; stoop, bend, reach, squat, kneel, crouch, and twist for extended periods; climb and balance on ladders, scaffolding, or other high structures; identify work-process issues and receive safety signals using sight, touch, and hearing; and wear required personal protective equipment and follow safety rules and guidelines.

Responsibilities

Run the daily dimensional control plan, performing scheduled gap-and-flush, seal-gap, striker-to-latch alignment, and door closing-effort measurements across closures and BIW, and ensure complete, clean data is available on time for daily reporting.
Create, program, teach, and optimize measurement programs on laser and vision gap-and-flush equipment (Eines guns), including feature definition, nominals, tolerances, and alignment for new and revised parts.
Measure door and closure closing effort with a speed gauge and seal-gap compression, and interpret results against engineering targets.
Perform and maintain required Measurement System Analysis studies, including Gage R&R, bias, linearity, and stability, keeping them current as parts, programs, and equipment change.
Partner with CM4D technicians to sustain clean, consistent data flow into CM4D by validating feature naming, filters, nominals, and tolerances, and confirming data arrives complete and on time.
Own maintenance, calibration, spare readiness, and purchase-order tracking for measurement equipment, including Eines guns, speed gauges, fixtures, and related hardware, to maximize uptime and prevent measurement interruptions.
Resolve part-availability issues quickly with supporting groups; train others on programs, equipment, Measurement System Analysis, and data handling; and support Engineering on measurement strategy, correlation, and root-cause investigation for closures fit and finish.

Desired Qualifications

Closures and BIW fit-and-finish experience is strongly preferred.
Eines guns experience is strongly preferred.
SQL, Python, or equivalent scripting for data validation is an asset.
Experience with Nikon laser radar, Perceptron, Hexagon, or Eines systems in BIW and closures is an asset.

Job Description

<div class="MSWordContent"><p>The Metrology Specialist, Gap & Flush and Closures will own the daily dimensional measurement of vehicle fit and finish within the dimensional engineering group. The successful candidate will program and operate laser and vision gap and flush equipment, measure seal gaps, striker-to-latch alignment and door closing effort, and run the daily control plan as their primary responsibility. The role is hands-on and fast-moving: the candidate keeps the measurement equipment running, keeps a clean and consistent flow of data into CM4D, and works relentlessly with supporting groups to make sure parts are available to measure so the control plan is never blocked. It is fundamental that the candidate can create and teach measurement programs on laser equipment rather than only run them, perform the Measurement System Analysis studies these gauges require, and resolve equipment and part-supply issues quickly on the floor. </div>

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
