Electrical Production Execution Engineer

Stellantis•Auburn Hills, MI

About The Position

The Electrical Production Execution Engineer is responsible for directing and coordinating troubleshooting and repair activities at engineering, supplier sub-assembly, manufacturing facilities, special events, and fleet locations for prototype and production level vehicles. The Engineer will support a variety of launch activities at assembly plants, pilot plants and/or supplier sub-assembly, conduct repairs, perform customer audit testing, participate in management update meetings, investigate problems found on early prototype engineering vehicles and coordinate interim and long-term solutions with the component releasing engineers. The Engineer will also gather engineering teams from multiple engineering disciplines and direct them in solving complex vehicle problems, provide remote and direct support for dealerships experiencing difficult problems with vehicles and will work with zone representatives that are supporting vehicle dealerships and perform electrical validation testing and document results as required. They will also support early initiatives with Process Standard (PS)/Diagnostic Definition Table (DDT) reviews, Product Assurance Team (PAT)/End-Of-Line (EOL) reviews, prove out required routines on bench and plywood buck, and assistance on plywood buck build and trouble shooting. Individuals may also support modular supplier EOL test development by interfacing with Supplier Quality Assurance (SQA) upfront to align with modular assemblers. Interface with engineering cross functional teams to secure technical information, i.e., wiring designs, component diagnostics, etc. to supply to the modular assemblers to ensure that all technical information is available to begin development of the EOL test. Co-lead modular supplier meetings with SQA to ensure issues are understood early in the program and maintain timing. Review supplier processes to ensure test process flow is robust and can capture issues in-system. Document issues and program status to Vehicle Teams along with on-site reviews during each stage of the pilot programs including Start of Production.
