• Ensure compliance of Quality deliverables at each launch milestone and confirm electrical product, software, test, and process readiness before production and volume ramp-up.
• Review electrical schematics, specifications, interface requirements, special characteristics, DFMEA/PFMEA, control plans, work instructions, and test standards for completeness and manufacturing applicability.
• Coordinate APQP/PPAP and validation of electrical parts and processes, including continuity, insulation resistance, dielectric withstand, grounding, connector engagement, pin integrity, torque, end-of-line functional tests, and diagnostic checks.
• Define incoming, in-process, control point, and end-of-line inspection and test requirements, and support test equipment qualification, measurement system analysis, calibration, golden samples, limits, and operator training.
• Monitor production Quality performance and lead containment, root cause analysis, corrective action, and effectiveness verification for electrical, electronic, diagnostic, and high-voltage defects.
• Lead cross-functional problem-solving for intermittent faults, connector and harness issues, sensor signals, communication faults, insulation failures, test escapes, and workmanship concerns affecting Powertrain Quality and Field Quality.
• Support equipment qualification, process validation, line trials, safe launch, layered process audits, and readiness reviews for new or changed electrical assembly and test processes.
• Partner with Supplier Quality to address electrical component nonconformities, verify corrective actions, and improve capability and parts maturity.
• Manage nonconforming product disposition with cross-functional teams and ensure traceability, segregation, repair validation, software or calibration control, and protection of internal and external customers.
• Analyze test, diagnostic, repair, audit, warranty, and field data to identify trends and implement preventive improvements.
• Support engineering and software change implementation by confirming validation, configuration control, documentation, training, parts readiness, and Quality approvals before production release.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 2-5 years of experience in Powertrain, automotive manufacturing, testing, or product engineering within an automotive OEM or Tier 1 environment.
• Experience with electrical schematics, diagnostic tools, measurement systems, MSA, SPC, capability analysis, and automotive core tools.
• Ability to work on the manufacturing floor, support production priorities, and communicate technical issues effectively across different organizational levels.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Practical experience with EV Powertrain electrical systems, electric motors, inverters, power electronics, high-voltage components, harnesses, sensors, controllers, or end-of-line testing.
• Experience supporting new product launches, greenfield manufacturing, or high-volume production ramp-up.
• High-voltage training or certification and familiarity with functional safety, configuration control, and vehicle network diagnostics.
