What to Expect The Senior Dimensional Engineer is responsible for ensuring that vehicle components and assemblies meet dimensional quality targets and tolerances throughout the product lifecycle by leading dimensional control strategies, analysis, and improvements to achieve fit, finish, craftsmanship specs, and functional requirements across BIW, closures, and other major assemblies. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, this role works closely with Production Teams, Sustaining Engineering, Controls, and Maintenance to define and ensure body accuracy standards, improve processes and cycle times, and drive corrective actions back to body lines in collaboration with Dimensional Engineering Technicians and the broader dimensional group. The Senior Dimensional Engineer will also work collaboratively with the Dimensional Staff to perform dimensional investigations and support Design, Process, and Manufacturing groups in validating part quality and tooling setup changes. What You'll Do Analyze each of the measurement reports to develop action plans for the continuous dimensional improvement of the assemblies of Underbody, bodysides, closures, BIW, and final line Develop/Manage the list of critical product and process characteristics and controlling their geometry inBIWto produce quality assemblies andmaintainingthe Shims Log, Change log, Carpet Data and Dimensional Management daily as part of the internal KP's of the MY BIW dimensional engineering team Provide daily production support onDimensional andquality concerns and develop and implement short/long-term countermeasures to quality problems whilemaintainingoperational efficiency Standardize progress by developing, deploying, and training others on dimensional engineeringTeam andbest practices Support parts and system validation processes for all body geometry and proactively lead variation reduction efforts for the body shop and reviewand follow Supplier parts to ensure zero-dimensional build issues Own andmaintaincurrent Geo accessories and criticalfixturesto ensure excellent performancefor the process and assemblies Work closely with Metrology Teamtocomply withthe control planand obtain necessary data and implement a plan to close any gaps in measurements Provideexpertiseto support improvement projects (Quality, dimensional,cycle time, efficiency, safety, etc.) Provideexpertiseon GD&T best practices and actively work with Quality and Design engineers to make sure thatdatumscheme and tolerances areaccuratefor the form,fitand function of the assemblies What You'll Bring 5 + years of relevant experience Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experience Excellent communication and interpersonal skillsat all levels of an organization and strong analytical and problem-solving skills Hands-on experience with fixture designs, checking aids and datum strategies and excellent knowledge of GD&Tand ability to create datum strategies that minimize tolerance stack-up in critical areas Manufacturing/assembly experience with a focus on one or more of the following areas: Automotive Stamping, Body in White assemblies/subassemblies, Drivetrain castings/gears, Battery modules Results driven with a Quality mindset and willingness to work in a strong cross-functional and collaborative environment Strong mechanical intuition and extensive hands-on experiencemodifyingtooling and fixtures Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and make correction if needed and experience with CAD design software (CATIA isa must) Experience using measurement tools for root cause diagnostics (stationary and portable CMMs, Faro laser tracker, Leica 3D scanner,Polyworks) Strong understanding of statistics toidentifycritical process parameters and ability to present simple solutions to complex problems and influence key change directives to other engineering teams Compensation and Benefits Benefits Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire: Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deduction Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution Company Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSA Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) 401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits Company paid Basic Life, AD&D Short-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period) Employee Assistance Program Sick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid Holidays Back-up childcare and parenting support resources Voluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance Weight Loss and Tobacco Cessation Programs Tesla Babies program Commuter benefits Employee discounts and perks program
