Dimensional Engineer, Semi, Powertrain

What to Expect

The Dimensional Engineer will work within the GFSF team under the quality group supporting all production lines of the Semi Gigafactory. He will be reporting to the Dimensional/Metrology Manager and work with Metrology technicians and perform dimensional investigations as well as working with Design and Manufacturing group to build and inspect new line's tooling and support part and design validations.

What You'll Do

* Act as specialist in "applied metrology" and provide support to manufacturing and design areas in development of appropriate measurement methods, including researching and recommending new technologies, analyzing existing measurement methods, and training as required

* Work closely with Metrology Technicians to improve current processes and develop new methods for unique measurement challenges

* Work with Manufacturing Engineers, Design Engineers and Quality Engineers to understand their needs and develop measurement techniques, processes and procedures which meet Tesla's requirements

* Provide dimensional expertise to support improvement projects (cycle time, efficiency, safety, etc.)

* Analyze and break down dimensional data to identify source of problems (Sub assembly, Tooling, Supplier part, etc.)

* Actively monitor dimensional accuracy of parts and assemblies thru various measurement systems (CMM, Faro, Check fixture, Romer, Laser Tracker, 3D scanner, etc.)

* Support incoming inspection correlation, MSA, FAI and Capability analysis for various external suppliers

* Responsible for creating and validating tolerance deviation requests

* Provide expertise on GD&T best practices and closely work with Quality and Design engineer to make sure that datum scheme and tolerances are accurate for the form, fit and function of the assemblies

* Design and implement automated and manual data collection processes

What You'll Bring

* Engineering degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experience

* 3-5 years of experience in quality, metrology or design engineering

* Excellent understanding of 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 correction if needed

* Experienced with CAD design software (CATIA is preferred)

* Experienced using measurement tools for root cause diagnostics (Faro arm, CMM, 3D scanner, Polyworks)

* Strong understanding of statistics to identify critical process parameters

* Strong communication and team working skills at all levels of an organization

* Ability to present simple solutions to complex problems and influence key change directives to other engineering teams
