What to Expect
The Dimensional Engineer will work with Production Teams. This Engineer will be reporting to the Body Dimensional Engineering Manager working closely with Sustaining Engineering to understand, help define and ensure lines are following body accuracy, fit, gap and craftmanship specs. From these Key indicators drive actions back to body lines.
What You’ll Do
Design and implement automated and manual data collection processes
Act as the specialist in ‘applied metrology’ and provide support to manufacturing and design areas in the development of appropriate measurement methods, including researching and recommending new technologies, analyzing existing measurement methods, and training as required
Create and validate Measurement Uncertainty Budget
Work closely with Metrology Technicians to obtain necessary data and implement a plan to close any gaps in measurements
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 expertise to support improvement projects (cycle time, efficiency, safety, quality, delivery, etc.).
Analyze and break down dimensional data to identify the source of problems (Subassembly, Tooling, Supplier part, etc.)
What You’ll Bring
Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering preferred and evidence of exceptional ability or equivalent experience
Minimally 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, fixtures, etc.
Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and make corrections if needed
Experienced with CAD design software – CATIA is highly preferred
