Responsibilities

Responsible for meeting or exceeding EDM program deliverables and functional objectives (i.e. cost, timing, efficiency, performance, mass, NVH, and quality).
Oversight of all aspects of the assigned EDM project for a given vehicle family (hardware, software, controls, calibration, packaging, prototype builds, validation, ED&D, DVPR, Statement of Work, Design Change Requests, etc).
Lead the Propulsion System Development Process (PSDP) for the EDM ensuring product readiness for approved launches and support the technical reviews/evaluations with respect to program targets/milestones.
Develop execution plans and coordinate engineering milestones to support critical mule and pilot builds (i.e. qty, MRD, design content, calibration needs, etc).
Responsible for ensuring program budget achievement identifying all possible efficiencies vs. approved business case.
Review, approve & track the EDM System DVP&R and support the development of the component DVP&Rs.
Co-lead proactive Risk Management tasks with the quality organization (i.e. DFMEAs, DFSS, LUR, Heat Map, Reliability Demonstration).
Track & lead issue resolution (GIMs, plant build and production issues).
Monitor quality metrics (e.g. CQI, 3MIS, 12MIS, EPUS, JD Power) for serial life EDM programs; lead root cause activities for field issues and implement containment actions to reduce warranty.
Support service engineering and MOPAR initiatives, review/approve service bulletins, RSUs and field action documents. Assist in developing service procedures/fault trees and resolution of service part supply issues.
Manage product lifecycle, including support of Supply Chain and Logistics issues to guarantee production continuity.
Technical Interface to Vehicle & PS Integration, AME, Purchasing, EE Core, ePT, Controls, Calibration, Quality, Suppliers and EE Systems.
Represent Chief organization in high level meetings as needed (Steering Committees, PRs, MRs, IH mtgs, PC-prep mtgs, VIT mtgs, etc).
Lead technical reviews/evaluations and technical specification sign-offs. (Design Reviews).
Coordination and implementation of Value Optimization (VO) activities.
Lead the technical responses and cost roll-ups to investigate/action bulletins that relate to the technology (i.e. piece cost, tooling, ED&D).
