What to ExpectThe Quality Engineer will be responsible for
providing on time support to our internal or external customers to develop and
sustain the quality of vehicle assembly systems. You will assess risks,
engineer the necessary quality controls (including the incoming components) and
prevention methods to achieve production targets and ultimately deliver a safe
and reliable product to enable Tesla’s mission to accelerate the word towards
sustainable energy. A successful candidate must be a professional problem
solver, data driven, with quality and customer mindset, and have the personal
drive and stamina for relentless, continual improvement (personally and
professionally).What You’ll DoAccountable for the quality of incoming
components, quality controls and assurance in production process, root cause
analysis and resolution of problems impacting internal and external customers,
continuous improvement and risk mitigationDrive cross functional teams to achieve
targets for field reliability, scrap and first pass yieldDevelopment of manufacturing
requirements, quality standards and product quality plans to assure products
will meet expectations of our target customersDeployment of manufacturing
level requirements to subsystems, assemblies & components to assure
clear focus on design and customer needsIdentification of critical requirements
to assure proper supplier and production focus on critical needsLeading development of FMEAs (Design
& Process) for development teams to identify and address critical risksSupport development of manufacturing
equipment, controls and test plans to address risks identified in FMEAParticipate in design reviews to assure
product subsystem quality, manufacturability, reliability, etcAssist development with dimensional
analysis, statistical tolerancing and other methods to investigate the effects
of part and process variability on system performanceSupport process capability analyses to
investigate the ability of suppliers and production processes to meet defined
specifications and quality standardsDesign effective experiments through DOE
or other methods to support design and process teams in investigation of
various alternatives to resolve quality issuesManage and facilitate the root cause
& corrective actions system through tracking and validation of issues and
support in root cause analysis through facilitating brainstorming, use of lean
methodologies, hypothesis testing, design of experiments, DMAIC, 8D, etcContinuously improve/develop a proactive
quality control system to effectively address and control product quality for
current and future productsAnalyze, develop, process, and implement
Engineering ChangesThe successful candidate for this
