What You Will Bring:
– Significant experience in medium-volume manufacturing, ideally within automotive, with strong APQP and PPAP/BEON exposure. – Demonstrable problem-solving capability, including methods such as 8D, PPS, and advanced root cause analysis. – Competent knowledge of Automotive quality expectations, including IMDS understanding. – Experience dealing with customers and suppliers, with strong communication and stakeholder management. – IAFT 16949 auditing experience is essential (VDA experience is a beneficial plus).
