Process Engineer at Scoutmotors · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following:
Own quality performance for assigned vehicle assembly processes, production areas, or vehicle systems from prototype builds through launch and series production.
Analyze product-quality trends using Pareto analysis, statistical process control (SPC), and root-cause analysis; evaluate identifiable process, product, timing, and production factors to select and drive appropriate corrective and preventive actions using 8D and DMAIC methodologies.
Develop, implement, and maintain layered quality-control plans, inspection standards, and defect-detection systems aligned with product complexity, process risk, and launch phase.
Lead problem-solving activities during prototype builds, pre-production, ramp-up, and series production, including line-side investigation, containment, root-cause determination, corrective action, and verification of sustained effectiveness.
Interface directly with Product Engineering, Process Engineering, Manufacturing, and other cross-functional partners to ensure design-for-quality, manufacturability, and build feasibility within the assigned scope.
Support dimensional-quality efforts, including fit and finish, flushness, and closure alignment, by working closely with BIW, Paint, Trim, Chassis, and other affected teams.
Validate critical assembly processes using error-proofing, poka-yoke systems, torque traceability, camera-based inspection, and real-time quality monitoring.
Adapt established quality methods and control approaches to address unusual circumstances, recurring defects, or process variation when standard solutions are insufficient.
Make quality recommendations and decisions within the assigned scope that protect launch readiness, production continuity, regulatory compliance, and customer quality; escalate material risks and decisions outside the role's authority at critical review points.
Drive continuous-improvement and defect-reduction initiatives across assigned stations and systems, fostering a zero-defect culture and ensuring actions are tracked through closure.
Conduct audits and support readiness for IATF 16949, VDA 6.3, and applicable Volkswagen Group quality standards.
