 What you´ll do:

Your responsibilities are divided into three main areas:

1. Data & Technical Management

Part Tracking: Manage the "technical DNA" of the battery by tracking part numbers and updates through our internal engineering systems (WERS).
Bill of Materials (BoM): Audit and update the master list of components to ensure every battery is built with the correct, most up-to-date parts.
Complexity Mapping: Create charts that show the different variations of batteries across various vehicle models.

2. Quality & Problem Solving

Warranty Analysis: Help investigate real-world battery issues to find "root causes" and suggest ways to make our batteries more reliable.
Issue Resolution: Assist the team in solving engineering challenges during the manufacturing process.
Cost Improvement: Participate in "Total Value Management" (TVM) by finding ways to reduce costs without sacrificing quality.

3. Testing & Validation

Testing Support: Help identify the specific durability and functional tests required to ensure the battery is safe and performs well in all conditions.
Reviews: Participate in both virtual (CAD) and physical "tear-down" reviews of battery hardware to identify areas for improvement.
