Job Description

Support cross-functional teams with analysis, coordination of trials, and implementation of both short-term and long-term solutions. Perform fitment trials to meet internal targets, adhere to the pre-series build/delivery schedule for launch and life cycle management, and work self-guided in a team environment with minimal guidance or motivation needed.

Responsibilities

• Collect and monitor quality data daily to determine the need for countermeasures.
• Perform manual measurements for specific problem analysis.
• Cross-reference measurement data with technical drawings and other specifications.
• Review part and assembly concepts to verify design intent.
• Analyze in-house (body, paint, and assembly shop), supplier (sheet metal and plastic parts), and logistical processes to determine root causes for dimensional deviations.
• Design and develop check gauges for analysis.
• Support the design of check and assembly gauges for series production use.
• Analyze work processes and evaluate improvement measures for manufacturing quality, ergonomics, and operating safety.
• Optimize process arrangements to ensure built-in quality can be achieved by the production team members.
• Support the assembly line by monitoring the build process and training team members for specific quality-related problems.
• Cross-reference standardized work with assembly process design specifications.
• Support the special car team.
• Try new parts on the assembly line during the sampling process and evaluate any negative impact on the assembly process ('tryout').
• Support coordination activities for Aeko/AWE implementation.
• Ensure pre-series and series build processes by defining and implementing short-term countermeasures for appearance quality or manufacturability problems.
• Analyze product launches by supporting prototype/pre-series build.
• Monitor new product launches and evaluate risk for future quality or manufacturing issues during the pre-series phase.
• Participate in root cause analysis concerning failures of new designs in whole car groups and interrelated systems.

Qualifications

• Experience in assembly and automotive repair.
• Automotive industry experience.
• Root cause analysis skills.
• Experience identifying and implementing effective countermeasures.
• Experience in an automotive dealership is a plus.
