subassemblies, welding, powder coat, general/final assembly), and end-of-line
testing in a high-speed environment, ensuring Tesla standards are met by
flagging suspect or nonconforming parts, supporting containment activities, and
promoting a culture of quality. This role minimizes defective parts sent to
downstream departments, assists multiple teams in maintaining and improving
overall part quality, and yields beneficial results for higher efficiency.

What You’ll Do

• The Quality Technician will be responsible for
  guiding production teams to properly disposition parts as good for use, need
  repair, or scrap, while documenting and communicating identified defects, with
  accountability for escalating unresolved concerns to the quality engineering
  team and direct manager
• This person is expected to comprehend current
  production quality standards, determine if ongoing production meets those

  work for accuracy, check the quality of previous operations, and meet critical
  deadlines, including providing day-to-day production support on quality
  concerns and developing/implementing short- and long-term countermeasures to
  quality problems while maintaining operational efficiency
• The Quality Technician shall have the capacity
  to communicate emerging and trending quality issues to prevent negative impact
  to the factory, align with the Quality engineering team to support incoming and

  tools (e.g., calipers, torque wrenches, gauges, measuring tape) is a plus;
  experience with electro-mechanical components, welding, powder coating, or
  assembly processes (Desirable)
• Communicates test results, ideas, and problems
  to supervisor and engineers; able to be part of the solution, with strong
  verbal and written communication skills in English, the ability to build solid
  relationships with several teams in multiple departments, and personable
