About the role
- Field Quality Engineer, Powertrain, you will serve as the critical link between customer-facing field issues and the engineering teams responsible for long-term solutions.
- Success in the first 12 months means reducing time-to-root-cause for critical powertrain issues, improving corrective action effectiveness, and driving measurable improvements in vehicle uptime and field quality performance.
- What you will find here that you will not find elsewhere is direct ownership of some of the most advanced EV powertrain technologies in production today, with the opportunity to influence both immediate customer outcomes and future product development.
Responsibilities
- Lead the investigation of complex field issues involving High Voltage Battery Packs, Drive Units, Charging Systems, High Voltage Distribution, and Thermal Systems.
- Perform hands-on vehicle diagnostics, data collection, signal validation, and component-level analysis to identify failure modes.
- Drive or support structured root cause investigations, differentiating between design, manufacturing, supplier, integration, and service-related issues.
- Partner with engineering teams to validate solutions and confirm corrective action effectiveness.
- Collaborate closely with Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Diagnostics, Supplier Quality, Manufacturing Quality, and Service teams to accelerate issue resolution and improve product robustness.
- Manage field quality concerns from identification through closure, including replication, documentation, severity assessment, corrective action tracking, validation, and verification activities.
- Powertrain Diagnostics & Investigation: Lead the investigation of complex field issues involving High Voltage Battery Packs, Drive Units, Charging Systems, High Voltage Distribution, and Thermal Systems.
- Root Cause Analysis & Resolution: Drive or support structured root cause investigations, differentiating between design, manufacturing, supplier, integration, and service-related issues.
