Time is balanced between the production floor and technical documentation, serving as the bridge between "what’s designed" and "what’s built." About 60% of your day collaborating with cross-functional teams and suppliers, and 40% driving independent problem-solving and root-cause analysis.

Document: Manage engineering change processes and maintain meticulous issue reporting and follow-up.
Travel: Conduct occasional local visits to supplier sites to ensure quality at the source.
Education & Experience:
Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field is preferred. (No degree? We still want to hear from you if you have 3+ years of relevant industry experience)
Experience: Previous experience in the automotive sector is a huge plus.
Technical Savvy: Understand engineering change processes and have a knack for analytical thinking.
Communication: Demonstrate an understanding of complex technical issues clearly to both a technician on the floor and a manager in a boardroom.
Flexibility: Comfortable working independently but thrive in a team setting. Note: Occasional support during plant shutdowns may be required based on workload.

Resume Review and submittal. Hiring time is estimated to be May 11th
Virtual Interview: A 30-minute Microsoft Teams session with the Hiring Manager and Team Lead.
