Quality Engineering Technician, Cybercab, Drive Unit

As an NVH Quality Technician, you can expect to play a hands-on role in vehicle-level noise, vibration, and harshness validation during production and new program phases. You'll perform subjective and objective NVH testing using tools like microphones/accelerometers, while supporting root cause analysis for BSR and customer complaints. Your work will directly impact vehicle quality through EOL audits, data reporting, and collaboration with engineering and manufacturing teams to drive corrective actions. You'll contribute to improving NVH standards and ensuring Tesla vehicles meet rigorous quality benchmarks.
