Development of seat system and components
• Lead seat system and components development for global and land specific features, starting from first concepts to series production.
• Lead various development activities in different phases as architekture, specification definition, digital mock-up and validation, simulation, data freeze & release, industriliation, till delivery confirmation.
Steering localization projects
• Manage the localized parts from design-frozen to part release with handover to series production, including managing technical changes from global RD.
• Evaluate and verify components function and maturity via local testing matrix, ensure parts readiness.
• Monitor project timeline, sourcing, tooling & facility readiness.
• Assist pilot run, tryout and series production at the production plant.
Testing
• Fulfil requirements of homologation processes and make sure parts can be introduced to Chinese market successfully. Keep tracking of authority (new) requirements.
• Create component test specification, test matrix, monitor testing processes to ensure the functionality of the product.
• Evaluate and verify testing results, analyse issues, solve the non-confirmities and carry out optimization/concept changes.
Project management
• Work together with cross-functional departments like product planning, purchasing, quality and logistics, coordinate activities to make sure project timeline realized.
Engineering Change Management & Documentation
• Ensure all engineering changes are accurately captured, verified and implmented into production line ontime.
• Maintain, verify and analyse all incoming changes (KEM).
• Maintain the BoM in general.
Designing
• Pre-study and analyse concepts, do benchmarking on the markets and create future concepts to meet trends.
• Lead and promte innovation projects & create phototypes in cooperation with institutes/universities.
