Job Description

Brief Role Description
Analyze and eliminate faults occurring within the car construction process (assembly, bodywork, electrical/electronic...) related to concept, process, and product failures, based on the fault elimination process (FAP) specifications; to guarantee the correct construction of the car, optimizing quality, costs, and manufacturing time during the startup phase of new projects and/or series production.

Possible Tasks within this Role
Identify and analyze technical problems of the vehicle and/or production process at different stages, using the fault elimination process (FAP) and root cause identification tools, considering all possible influencing factors (technical documentation, production process methods, etc.), to determine if they are within specification and identify the cause of the problem.
Plan, coordinate, and ensure the implementation of immediate containment, correction (series solution), and prevention measures to resolve the existing technical problem.
Review and validate faults within the technical documentation (PDMs, drawings, etc.) and the resulting assembly processes to guarantee a robust assembly process, optimizing quality, costs, and manufacturing time.
Define, agree upon, and coordinate immediate measures by modifying the product or process (agreed with technical areas such as technical development, quality, planning, and assembly) to ensure the assembly of components and product safety before determining the root cause of a failure.
Plan, review, and validate assembly tests to define functional quality notes in order to ensure that purchased parts meet the necessary specifications regarding function, dimension, assembly time... etc.
Execute analysis and compliance methodologies through problem-solving such as the tolerance chain between part assemblies (TKU) and Six Sigma, to ensure mountability and visual quality requirements (Massstabsblatt) and functional measurements (FUMAKA).
Evaluate the influence of assembly processes (Body, Paint, Assembly) on the final status of the finished car, through various analysis processes and measurement techniques, to achieve a finished car that meets the consortium's dimensional requirements.

Qualification requirements
Ensure and comply with established deadlines through the KPM TE and KPM cfs systems via tickets for problem analysis and implementation of measures, thus guaranteeing compliance with quality requirements and plant productivity.
