Define and execute short-term containment actions, including rework plans, part quarantine, and build flow protection

Collaborate cross-functionally to lead root cause analysis across design, process, supplier, and manufacturing domains, identify and prioritize blockers, and drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) improvements.

Support cross-functional teams to implement permanent corrective actions (PCA) and prevent recurrence

Support prototype builds, production trials, and engineering changes to validate fixes and improve manufacturability

Develop and maintain metrics, dashboards, and reporting to track issue health, closure rates, and recurrence and improve PIRT processes, including issue tracking, prioritization, and cross-functional execution

Requirements

Qualifications

B.S. or M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field

8 to 12 years of experience in automotive OEMs, robotics, aviation, or other complex hardware systems within manufacturing, product engineering, or sustaining environments

Strong understanding of vehicle electrical systems, wiring harnesses and connectors, control units, compute, and sensor hardware

Proven experience leading root cause analysis and corrective actions in production, manufacturing, or field environments, including new product launch support

Strong cross functional communication and problem solving skills with the ability to operate effectively in a fast paced environment

Bonus Qualifications

Experience with Design for Manufacturing (DFM), production process optimization, Lean, Six Sigma, or similar continuous improvement methodologies

Experience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or EV systems

Familiarity with tools such as 3DX (Dassault), DELMIA, SAP ME/MII, JIRA, Confluence, SQL, Python, or data visualization tools
