• Lead cross-functional strategy and initiatives for dimensional quality control and improvement of EV body structures and finished vehicles
• Oversee Plant Quality dimensional control technician team
• Oversee Plant Quality dimensional control operations (e.g., control plan execution) and procedures; lead development and rollout of training when required
• Conduct on-site (Factory and Service Centers) inspections and assessments of EV body structures to identify and diagnose dimensional deviations
• Conduct on-site (Factory and Service Centers) inspections and assessments of EV body structures to identify and diagnose dimensional deviations
• Lead root cause analysis for dimensional discrepancies found in development, field, and manufacturing, working with cross-functional teams to develop and implement corrective actions
• Use data-driven methodologies such as Six Sigma, 8D, and SPC (Statistical Process Control) to identify trends, prioritize issues, and ensure effective resolutions
• Collaborate with design engineering, craftsmanship, vehicle integration on dimensional control plan development for new model programs
• Coordinate with design and manufacturing teams to ensure that lessons learned from field issues are incorporated into future designs and production processes
• Implement best practices for dimensional measurement and quality control, leveraging advanced technologies and methodologies
• Provide feedback and recommendations to design and engineering teams to prevent future issues and enhance product quality
• Ambassador for Manufacturing during the development process for Dimensional Excellence
• Work with Vehicle Architecture team to ensure Dimensional strategies throughout the vehicle are being developed at the highest Quality standards.
• Work closely with design, manufacturing, quality, and supplier teams to ensure that dimensional accuracy requirements during development are understood and met
• Lead cross-functional reviews during development and field issues, driving accountability and ensuring that actions are implemented effectively
• Maintain accurate records of field issues, dimensional inspections, and quality metrics
• Ensure that all documentation complies with company standards and regulatory requirements

You Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field required
• 8+ years of experience in automotive body structure engineering, with a focus on dimensional accuracy, field support, and quality planning
• Strong proficiency in dimensional analysis tools and software (e.g., CMM, laser scanners, GD&T, CAD software)
• Extensive experience with APQP processes, including FMEA, control plans, and PPAP
• Proven experience in field issue resolution, root cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills, with the ability to work effectively across departments and with external stakeholders

 Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in engineering or a related field
• Certification in Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, or other quality/process improvement methodologies
• Experience in the EV sector or with advanced automotive technologies as design and release engineer
• Design and Release Experience on Body Structures and Closures is a plus
• Familiarity with industry standards and regulatory requirements for EV body structures
