About the Job

Requirements

A degree in Mechanical Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experience.
3–5 years of experience in quality, metrology, or design engineering.
Strong understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and ability to create datum strategies that minimize tolerance stack-up in critical areas.
Strong mechanical intuition and extensive hands-on experience modifying tooling and fixtures.
Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and make corrections when needed.
Experience with computer-aided design (CAD) software; CATIA is preferred.
Experience using measurement tools for root-cause diagnostics, including Faro arm, coordinate measuring machine (CMM), 3D scanner, and PolyWorks.
Strong understanding of statistics to identify critical process parameters.
Ability to present simple solutions to complex problems and influence change directives across engineering teams.

Responsibilities

Act as an applied metrology specialist and support manufacturing and design teams in developing measurement methods, including researching and recommending technologies, analyzing existing methods, and providing training as needed.
Work with metrology technicians to improve current processes and develop methods for unique measurement challenges.
Work with manufacturing, design, and quality engineers to understand their needs and develop measurement techniques, processes, and procedures that meet company requirements.
Provide dimensional expertise for improvement projects involving cycle time, efficiency, safety, and other areas.
Analyze dimensional data to identify sources of problems, including subassemblies, tooling, and supplier parts.
Monitor dimensional accuracy of parts and assemblies using measurement systems such as CMM, Faro, check fixtures, Romer, laser trackers, and 3D scanners.
Support incoming-inspection correlation, measurement system analysis (MSA), first article inspection (FAI), and capability analysis for external suppliers.
Create and validate tolerance deviation requests.
Provide expertise on GD&T best practices and work with quality and design engineers to ensure datum schemes and tolerances suit assembly form, fit, and function.
Design and implement automated and manual data-collection processes.

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.
