You will influence product design and concept decisions, monitor key quality metrics, and ensure customer-driven requirements are met from concept through to launch.

  • Generate warranty prognoses and system target settings, incorporating customer feedback and satisfaction data into continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Represent Quality within
    Module Teams
    , attending key meetings (Quality, Module, and S-Team) and reporting status updates.
  • Manage quality deliverables throughout the full project lifecycle (PEP48) and coordinate cross-functional sign-offs.
  • Maintain and support the
    Quality Planning Master Schedule
    , ensuring all critical module activities are defined and tracked against project timing.
  • Deputise for the
    Quality Project Leader
    and
    Quality Planning Manager
    as required, supporting project milestones and key operational activities.

Key Skills & Experience

  • Demonstrable experience in
    automotive model development programmes
    , ideally within an OEM environment following a Product Emergence Process.
  • Strong understanding of
    management systems and processes
    required to develop and launch new vehicles or similarly complex products.
  • Previous experience in
    quality planning
    , part maturation, concern management, and Meisterbuck/cubing.
  • Understanding of
    customer satisfaction requirements
    for the upper luxury sector.
  • Highly computer-literate with strong presentation and communication skills.
  • Capable of influencing at all levels and facilitating effective cross-functional collaboration.
  • Knowledge of
    CAD (Catia V5)
    ,
    PLM systems
    , and surface data assessment desirable.
  • Experienced in
    problem-solving techniques
    (6 Sigma, 8D, A3) and familiar with
    APQP methodologies
    .

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree (or higher) in an engineering discipline, or HNC/HND with extensive relevant experience.
  • Membership of a relevant professional body (IMechE, IET, etc.).
  • Full UK driving licence.
