What to Expect
The Quality Inspector evaluates finished metal bodies on and off of a moving
production line in a high-speed environment. Inspectors determine the
disposition of active production parts to ensure Tesla standards are being
met. Inspectors must be prepared to escalate concerns to the appropriate party
and always promote a culture of quality. The purpose of the Quality Inspector
is to minimize the amount of defective parts that are sent to downstream
departments and assist multiple teams in maintaining and improving overall
part quality, yielding beneficial results and higher efficiency for Tesla.
