As a MGR II Qlty & Reliability Engineering, you will be responsible for...

• Developing and driving standardized Design for Reliability Engineering (DfRE) and Robustness Validation (RV) methodologies for all Power Products.
• Driving a DFSS culture focused on innovation, continuous learning, and continuous improvement to achieve First Time Right outcomes; providing product development and DFSS training, coaching, and mentoring to product design teams to build a world-class product development organization.
• Driving excellence in Design for Reliability by ensuring comprehensive utilization of modeling and simulation, structured DOE approaches, and robust product validation, including HALT/HAST and Test to Failure (TTF) methodologies. Overseeing the integration of reliability considerations during technology and product evaluation and NPI product development, from receipt of Customer Specifications (Mission Profile) through product release into mass production; exercising T&V Plan and Reliability Test Plan finalization authority for Power Products.
• Partnering with PDEs to quickly produce and evaluate initial samples to accelerate time to market and drive rapid, iterative product design improvements; driving early concept testing to identify potential weaknesses and failure mechanisms in product designs and validating all improvements through testing and capability analysis.
• Working closely with MPDE on process and equipment development, developing comprehensive test plans to ensure capability meets Six Sigma standards, and driving world-class Simultaneous Engineering (Concurrent Engineering).
• Supporting Manufacturing Quality with failure analysis (F/A), Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) for production line scrap and customer returns, as well as competitive benchmarking activities.
• Leading the identification of specialized testing needs and requirements and partnering with the Global R&T COE to develop custom test equipment, tests, and test specifications; overseeing all application testing for Power Products.
• Driving a high-performance organization by providing the team with routine coaching and feedback, holding team members accountable for meeting performance objectives, and providing meaningful development opportunities to enhance individual and team capabilities.
• Managing employee well-being by prioritizing work, effectively managing resource allocation, and providing flexibility to help employees balance their professional and personal lives successfully.
• Driving organizational effectiveness by structuring the organization to best support the BU strategy, maximize resource efficiency and productivity, and establish role clarity and clear lines of accountability.
• Managing organizational talent to meet current business needs and proactively prepare for the future by identifying skill-set and role gaps, implementing plans to address these gaps, and assessing current talent fit to ensure the right talent is matched to the right roles to meet business requirements.
