Craftsmanship is the perception of quality that a customer has about a product, derived through sight, touch, sound, and scent. The Tesla Craftsmanship team is responsible for ensuring our consumer vehicles, commercial vehicles, energy and robot products are utterly compelling in the store and provide a faultless experience during use. The Craftsmanship team collaborates cross-functionally to influence products at conception, transforming vision into actionable and measurable targets while resolving craftsmanship, engineering, and manufacturing hurdles preemptively. We are a small group of product designers and mechanical engineers with a passion for innovation, attention-to-detail, and user-centric design. We take pride in aligning with Tesla's commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive culture. While developing products that will change the world is very challenging, having thoughtful and creative teammates ensures our work is always enjoyable. * Own Craftsmanship attribute deliverables for defined vehicle systems or area * Develop gap and flush control documents from target creation to process delivery alignment * Develop Craftsmanship sensory targets that deliver a world-class user experience, beyond gap and flush conditions * Represent the Craftsmanship attribute at all relevant meetings, influence the team to take the Craftsmanship approach in all trade-off discussions * Drive closure of Craftsmanship issues through negotiation using quantitative data.
