About the Job

Requirements

A degree in Electrical, Chemical, or Materials Engineering, or equivalent experience.
At least 2 years of experience in Quality Engineering.
Specific training and demonstrated success applying design for quality, problem-solving methodologies, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), process capability analysis, hypothesis testing, design of experiments (DOE), and statistical process control (SPC).
A strong background and demonstrated success applying statistical methods.
Data mining, database, and scripting experience, such as MySQL and Python.
Excellent oral and written communication skills.

Responsibilities

Be accountable for the quality of incoming components, production-process quality controls and assurance, root cause analysis and resolution of problems impacting internal and external customers, continuous improvement, and risk mitigation.
Drive cross-functional teams to achieve targets for field reliability, scrap, and first-pass yield.
Develop manufacturing requirements, quality standards, and product quality plans so products meet target-customer expectations.
Deploy manufacturing-level requirements to subsystems, assemblies, and components so design and customer needs stay in focus.
Lead development of Design and Process Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEAs) so development teams identify and address critical risks.
Participate in design reviews to assure subsystem quality, manufacturability, and reliability.
Assist development with dimensional analysis, statistical tolerancing, and other methods to investigate how part and process variability affect system performance.
Support process capability analyses to determine whether suppliers and production processes can meet defined specifications and quality standards.
Design experiments through DOE or other methods so design and process teams can compare alternatives and resolve quality issues.
Manage and facilitate the root-cause and corrective-action system by tracking and validating issues, and support root-cause analysis through brainstorming, lean methods, hypothesis testing, design of experiments, DMAIC, and 8D.

Desired Qualifications

Six Sigma or ASQ certification.
At least 1 year of experience with electromechanical assemblies, chemical processes, or battery cell manufacturing.
Experience with Minitab, JMP, or other statistical software.

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.
