By refusing to settle, you help shape the future of electric mobility and prove what's possible when craft and ambition refuse to compromise each other.
The Role
Assuring the quality of a premium electric vehicle begins long before Start of Production, and this role exists to guarantee the performance of chassis and safety restraint systems throughout product development, validation, launch, and production. As a Sr.
Technical Quality Engineering Specialist (Chassis and Safety Restraints), you will embed quality engineering discipline from early design through production—applying core quality tools, leading root-cause investigations, and partnering across engineering, manufacturing, and suppliers to resolve issues before they reach the customer.
Success in the first 12 months means driving early DFM and risk mitigation into chassis and restraint designs, leading root-cause and issue closure across build phases, and validating that safety-critical components meet design intent and process capability ahead of launch.
What You'll Own
Early Engineering & DFM:
Evaluate new components and systems for manufacturability and assembly feasibility, provide DFM input during concept, prototype, and design-freeze phases, and participate in design reviews to embed quality, lessons learned, and risk mitigation early.
Quality Tools & Engineering Analysis:
Apply core quality methods including APQP, PPAP, FMEA, Control Plans, MSA, and SPC, and lead or support DFMEA and PFMEA reviews using structured problem-solving (8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa) to drive root cause and corrective action.
Root Cause Analysis & Issue Closure:
Lead cross-functional investigations across design, process, supplier, and build issues; drive containment, corrective action validation, and issue closure across program phases; and document and integrate lessons learned.
GD&T & Dimensional Engineering:
Interpret engineering drawings using GD&T standards, perform tolerance stack-ups, and resolve dimensional issues in partnership with engineering and metrology teams.
Prototype, DV, and PV Build Support:
Provide on-site quality support across all build phases—identifying defects, tracking issues, ensuring corrective actions, and validating design intent, part readiness, and process capability.
Manufacturing & Supplier Quality Collaboration:
Partner with manufacturing to confirm process capability and stability, support supplier PPAPs, incoming quality issues, and technical reviews, and participate in audits, line walks, and containment activities.
What You Bring
Required
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
8+ years of automotive quality or engineering experience.
Experience supporting chassis and safety restraint systems, including suspension, steering, brakes, wheels/tires, subframes, seat belts, airbags, and related occupant protection components.
Strong understanding of GD&T, engineering drawings, and tolerance analysis.
Hands-on experience with APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, and core quality tools.
Prototype, DV, and PV build support experience.
Proven root cause and issue-closure capability.
Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English sufficiently to perform the essential duties of the position, including understanding work instructions, safety procedures, and job-related communications.
Preferred
Premium or performance automotive chassis quality experience.
Familiarity with safety restraint and occupant-protection validation requirements (e.g., FMVSS).
EV industry experience.
