As DRE for this commodity, I worked with 3 of the main electrification programs which are the STLA Frame, STLA Large and Maserati M182 vehicle programs. Such programs required a new solution of all wheel drive technology compatible with the new BEV and PHEV electrification architectures. I ensured proper product lifecycle management, change and prototype tracking. CAD data evaluation and geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T/VSA) are key activities of the role. I also monitored manufacturing implementation of design intent components through advanced quality planning and ensured proper Bill of Materials documentation was available for program launch and to support plant pilot build phases as well.
