- Champion Design for Reliability (DfR) and Design for Quality best practices.
Influence Product Development- Collaborate with electrical, firmware, systems, and mechanical engineers throughout the product development process.
- Participate in technical design reviews and ensure quality and reliability requirements are incorporated into designs.
- Review engineering documentation, requirements, verification plans, and design outputs to identify potential risks.
- Support product development teams in achieving successful design validation and product release readiness.
Lead Risk Management Activities- Facilitate Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) activities for new and existing products.
- Coach engineering teams on effective risk identification, mitigation, and documentation practices.
- Drive improvements in design robustness through lessons learned and continuous improvement initiatives.
Improve Engineering Excellence- Develop and implement engineering quality metrics and reliability measures.
- Support process improvements that increase development efficiency and product quality.
- Help establish engineering standards, best practices, and standard work across global development teams.
- Provide training and mentoring on quality and reliability tools and methodologies.
Support Sustaining Engineering & Continuous Improvement- Partner with manufacturing and quality teams to address product quality concerns and drive corrective actions.
- Support product improvement initiatives based on customer feedback, field performance data, and reliability trends.
- Represent Design Engineering in cross-functional quality improvement efforts.
What You BringRequired Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Engineering.
