A Torque Technician is responsible for keeping the electronic and manual torque tools at Rivian functioning at peak efficiency. This role includes being the immediate response team for any torque tool issues in the production areas to minimize the impact these issues have on production volume and throughput rates. In this function, you will diagnose the issues with the tools, bring in the relevant process partners from factory software, maintenance, facilities or engineering, and work collaboratively to correct the faults as quickly as possible. This will require both a high level of expertise in the tools and controllers, and an ability to think on your feet to find the most efficient solution for the issue at hand. When you are not responding to line-calls you will be maintaining existing tools, including preventative maintenance, calibration activities (both in-line and off-line) and hardware repairs on tools and tool attachments. These repairs will mandate having and maintaining an inventory of tools and spare parts, controllers, and attachments. You will also work intimately with the relevant software programs (e.g. ToolTalk2, ToolsNet, QAS, GagePack, Tableau, etc.) to monitor and adjust torque programs based on the specific joint design to ensure that each joint and tool meet the expectations and requirements set forth by the fastener engineers. You will also support line-balancing activities and the roll-out of new tools and controllers per the aligned plan with Process Engineering.
Your responsibilities will also include maintaining and evolving dashboards to track and report on KPIs showing the activities on and performance of the Torque Tools, line-call response time, resolution time, and overall tool- or line-down time, among others. You will be responsible for keeping the relevant dashboards and KanBan boards up to date and supporting Rivian Operating System (RiOS) initiatives and activities in your area.
