Functional / Electrical Architecture Quality Leader

Key Responsibilities

• Quality Governance of Top Hat Programs
• Target deployment and Quality metrics achievement
• Ensure compliance to Functional PDP and EHE legacy deliverables
• Identify missing or weak deliverables impacting launch quality
• Challenge program teams on readiness gaps
• Program Quality Assessment (with FEAs & SSTMs)
• Drive Structured Design Reviews
• Cover 2.1 Quality Status: Functional design readiness, feature availability, validation maturity, software robustness including DTC convergence, APQP status, DFMEA/PFMEA completion
• 2.2 Issue Tracking: Critical issue identification and prioritization, burn-down follow-up, escalation management (FEW / TCCB / Project review)
• 2.3 Deliverables Achievement: EE BOM maturity, packaging & schematics releases, 12v energy system compliance, diagnosis strategy compliance, EOL / Flashing convergence, industrial readiness consistency
• Ensure lessons learned are properly captured at Top Hat level
• Guarantee effective re-injection into future programs sharing same architecture
• Capitalize systemic issues across EHE + FEA-x perimeter
• Risk & Deferral Governance: Risk assessment for issues entering the deferral process, evaluate severity, occurrence, and detection to support go/no-go recommendations and appropriate containment strategies
• Quality position in Industrial and Deferral Committees
• Represent the Quality standpoint, ensuring decisions are data-driven and aligned with customer and brand expectations
• Customer impact assessment and mitigation
• Ensure impacts are fully understood (field, service, manufacturing) and that mitigation plans are defined, validated, and tracked to closure
• Recovery & Convergence Leadership: Build robust recovery plans with SSTMs when required, define containment, corrective actions, verification steps, and timing to recover milestone readiness and protect SOP delivery
• Drive cross-functional alignment (EHE / SWE / CCLP / Vehicle Engineering)
• Facilitate shared prioritization, clear ownership, and synchronized execution across functions to remove blockers quickly
• Secure quality convergence prior to key milestones and SOPM up to MPTR
• Monitor convergence indicators and enforce closure of critical gaps to achieve a stable, customer-ready product at each gate

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• A minimum of 8 years experience in engineering and/or quality
• Deep understanding of Functional PDP & EHE deliverables, SW and Connectivity development plan
• Knowledge of service and manufacturing processes
• Proven launch management exposure
• Strong risk assessment and recovery planning capability
