OVERVIEW

In this role, you will lead the charge in identifying, triaging, and resolving design and manufacturing defects before they ever impact a customer. Your daily impact will include:

• Issue Resolution & Root Cause Analysis: Investigate internal and external quality concerns. Determine whether the root cause stems from design, the supplier, or manufacturing, and collaborate with the proper skill teams to implement immediate containment.
• Warranty & Data Triaging: Support daily warranty claim binning, triage incoming claims, and prioritize containment actions using DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) data and priority rankings.
• Change Management: Manage the engineering change process by coordinating plant trials, leading sign-offs, and ensuring the assembly plant is fully prepared to absorb design changes from concept to production launch.
• Electrical Diagnostics: Review internal end-of-line electrical issues, triage DTCs, and develop structured workplans to resolve low-voltage Electrical Distribution System (EDS) concerns.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Attend Vehicle Team (VRT) sub-system meetings, lead design resolution for wiring/EDS issues, and participate in pre-production vehicle builds to log and track defects (via AIMS/JIRA).
• Continuous Improvement: Develop long-term roadmaps to eliminate high hurt internal/external quality issues, leveraging facts and data to build solid business cases for engineering improvements.
