Support achievement of quality metrics for EFTQ, DRR, and GCA by providing electrical sufficiency and leadership on module and software-related issues.
Utilize standardized processes and systems (PRTS, SPPS, GSIP) to document, track, and resolve electrical and module concerns, ensuring clear ownership and durable corrective actions.
Problem solve and analyze test data, vehicle logs, snapshots, and CAN bus traces to direct root cause, assign ownership, and validate repair effectiveness.
Champion Electrical BoO elements related to modules (e.g., Module Scrap Tracking, No Trouble Found, Team of Three) and ensure proper execution in the plant.
Lead plant implementation of software and module changes (e.g., VeSCoM releases, TWO/EWO breakpoints, loose piece reflash activities) in partnership with GEPICS Coordinators, Software VSEs, CRT, and suppliers.
Provide technical direction and support to Value Added Assemblers (VAAs) in developing and maintaining Bills of Operations related to modules to ensure consistent quality and performance.
Communicate engineering changes, supplier feedback, and containment plans to production teams and VAAs, following up to confirm correct execution and performance in the field.
Establish and maintain working relationships with suppliers and third-party providers, including oversight of supplier test equipment and work instructions for containment in the plant.
