What to Expect
The Dimensional Engineer will work within the Metrology team under the quality
group supporting every production line of Gigafactory Texas. This engineer
will be reporting to the Metrology Manager and work closely with Metrology
technicians. The primary focus of the role is to perform dimensional
investigations as well as working with Design and Manufacturing groups to
build and inspect new line's tooling.
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
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
Work closely with the Metrology Manager on continuously improving the
Labs' processes, procedures, datasheets and measurement techniques
Provide dimensional expertise to support improvement projects (cycle
time, efficiency, safety, etc)
Analyze and break down dimensional data to identify the source of problems
(Subassembly, Tooling, Supplier part, etc)
Actively monitor the dimensional accuracy of the drive unit and battery
product thru various measurement systems (CMM, Faro, Check fixture,
Romer, Laser Tracker, 3D scanner, etc)
Provide day to day production support on quality concerns and develop and
implement short/long term countermeasure to quality problems while
maintaining operational efficiency
Standardize progress by developing, deploying, and training others on
dimensional engineering best practices
Support incoming inspection correlation with various external suppliers
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
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering
Minimum of 3 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 correction if
needed
Experienced with CAD design software (CATIA is a must)
Experienced using measurement tools for root cause diagnostics (Faro arm,
CMM, 3D scanner, Polyworks)
Strong understanding of statistics to identify critical process parameters
