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 report to the Dimensional/Metrology Manager and work with Metrology technicians and perform dimensional investigations as well as working with Design and Manufacturing groups to build and inspect new line's tooling and support part and design validations.

What You'll Do

• Act as a specialist in "applied metrology" and provide support to manufacturing and design areas in developing 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 that meet Tesla's requirements.
• Provide dimensional expertise to support improvement projects (cycle time, efficiency, safety, etc.).
• Analyze and break down dimensional data to identify sources of problems (sub assembly, tooling, supplier part, etc.).
• Actively monitor dimensional accuracy of parts and assemblies through 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.
• Create and validate tolerance deviation requests.
• Provide expertise on GD&T best practices and closely work with Quality and Design engineers to ensure datum schemes and tolerances are accurate for form, fit, and function of assemblies.
• Design and implement automated and manual data collection processes.

What You'll Bring

• An 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.
• Experience reading and interpreting mechanical drawings and making corrections as needed.
• Experience using CAD design software (CATIA is preferred).
• Experience using measurement tools for root cause diagnostics (Faro arm, CMM, 3D scanner, Polyworks).
• A strong understanding of statistics to identify critical process parameters.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills at all levels of an organization.
• Ability to present simple solutions to complex problems and influence key change directives to other engineering teams.
