About the Job

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent experience is required.
At least 3 years of quality engineering experience in a high-volume manufacturing environment is required.
Specific training and demonstrated success applying design-for-quality and problem-solving methodologies, including FMEA, control plans, process capability analysis, measurement system analysis and Gage R&R, hypothesis testing, design of experiments, statistical process control, and 8D, are required.
Experience supporting new equipment or production-line launches through validation, qualification, run-at-rate, or PPAP into stable production is required.
A strong background applying statistical methods and capability with Minitab, JMP, or equivalent statistical software are required.
Data mining and database experience, such as SQL or MySQL, and the ability to build clear data visualizations and reporting from production data are required.
Working knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, inspection and metrology methods, and the ability to interpret engineering drawings and specifications are required.
Strong oral, written, and presentation skills in English are required.
Willingness to work shifts and weekends as determined by production and project needs is required.
Eligibility to work in the Netherlands through EU citizenship or a valid work permit is required.

Responsibilities

Own the quality of module parts leaving the production line, make informed disposition decisions on products, and support cross-functional teams in delivering quality and production key performance indicators.
Lead quality validation of new and modified module lines, including process risk assessment, measurement system analysis (Gage R&R), first article and PPAP review, run-at-rate, and process capability sign-off before release to full-rate production.
Develop manufacturing requirements, quality standards, control plans, and product quality plans, and deploy manufacturing-level requirements to subsystems, assemblies, and components.
Identify critical-to-quality characteristics to focus supplier and production efforts, and lead development of Design and Process FMEAs to identify and address critical risks.
Support development of manufacturing equipment, controls, inspection methods, and test plans addressing FMEA-identified risks, including quality criteria for laser welding, dispensing and potting, and vision inspection.
Drive containment, root cause analysis, and permanent corrective action for quality escapes and line defects using 8D, DMAIC, Ishikawa, and 5 Whys, and close the loop with suppliers and Design.
Perform process capability analyses and deploy statistical process control to assess and monitor supplier and production process performance against defined specifications.
Participate in design reviews to assure subsystem quality, manufacturability, and reliability, and support statistical tolerancing, Monte Carlo analysis, and other methods to investigate the effects of part and process variability on system performance.

Desired Qualifications

Experience in battery module, pack, or cell manufacturing is strongly preferred; experience in adjacent industries such as electric-vehicle powertrain, energy storage, automotive, or electronics manufacturing is also welcomed.

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.
