• Efficiently conduct root cause analysis of any issues that arise from warranty or on the plant assembly line using cross talk communication between myself and the responsible parties needed for evaluations.
• Mitigate risk and resolved component related issues utilizing corporate tools and processes from Design for Six Sigma to resolve monitored issues list which is tracked in the Problem Resolution Tracking System (PRTS).
• Present design modifications and lessons learned to executive vehicle team program managers for monetary approvals and took their feedback to coordinate and implement the change with my suppliers.
• Collaborated and created Design Failure Mode Effects and Analysis (DFMEA) and Design Review Based on Failure Mode (DRBFM) for component and sub-assemblies with suppliers
• First contact to any issues that arouse in the plant on the assembly line or which occurred during virtual integration assessments.
• Collaborated with validation engineering to help create requirements for the Analysis/Development/Validation Plan and Report (ADVPR). If surrogate data could be used from previous development testing, I worked.
