• 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.

Qualifications:

• B.S. or M.S. degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering or related technical field.
• 6-8 years of experience in automotive OEMs, robotics, aviation, or other complex hardware systems within manufacturing, product engineering, or sustaining environments.
• Strong understanding of OEM vehicle electrical systems, wiring harnesses and connectors, control units, compute, sensor hardware, and mechanical systems.
• 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.
