Description

Lead the Body exterior component design & development activities.
Exterior Components are Front Bumper, Rear Bumpers, Grille, Bumper mounting brackets, functional plastic such as roof rail, badges components and its homologation compliance requirements.
Exterior components Aero components such as Wheel Flare, Wheel Liner, Claddings, belly pan, FEM and Spoiler and its homologation compliance requirements.
Ensure Body exterior components being consistent with quality, performance, time, and costs objectives and being supported by specialized areas.
Ensure Cross functional team co-ordination on development and practices in a specific collaborative project with other regions.
Homologation compliance for all the body exterior components
Responsible for the Engineering, Design, Development, Timing and Product release of Body Exterior components
Other responsibilities will include managing supplier (internal/external) development activities, weight and cost reduction opportunities, development, and validation of assigned components.

Task / Deliverables

Analysing the design to ensure it meets requirements and working with the extended vehicle team for production implementation and competitive benchmarking, Change Management, Issue Management, Team Management and BOM Management.

• Concept Design and feasibility studies of Bumpers, Functional Plastics, Claddings, FEM, Roof Rack, Side Steps etc.

• Design reviews, design practice checks, regulations, Master Section Creation.

• Efficient in BOM & Complexity management

Supported by the Engineering Functions and the SSTL, depending on the specific area of application can be responsible:
To manage Project deliverables within his/her area.
To manage codesign Suppliers Project deliverables within his/her area, supported by the Engineering Functions and the SSTL, responsible for Quality convergence process (e.g. APQP grid).
To ensure the correct and efficient information flow and reporting during the project development phase to SSTL.
To participate to any hand-over phase, if present, and to the definition with Engineering functions for relevant components/systems, technical solutions and corresponding performance, timing and cost targets (using the appropriate systems).

To ensure the completeness/availability of all engineering documents necessary for sourcing (Sourcing Packages) on time to support Project deliverables.

To ensure the technical feasibility, the design robustness, the component manufacturability and the compliance of technical documentation, through the coordination of engineering (if necessary) and product suppliers.
To point out the critical issues or any infringements of Design/Test Standards and identify the actions needed to respect the assigned targets.
To manage the design FMEAs execution performing the risk assessment and to provide support during process FMEAs execution

To make available the documentation necessary to implement technical modifications (e.g. ODMs/CCD/CNs/ECR), to request their economic evaluations, to support the SSTL during the approval phase and to guarantee the associated drawings release. To monitor, through the accountable departments, their application in production according to the time schedule and procedures provided.

To ensure the completeness/availability of all documents necessary for tooling release (TKO) and software release and validation
To ensure the release of the product structure for Mules (and PWB plywood buck if requested) ensuring the Part Delivery
To carry out/to ensure the diagnostic activities on the relevant systems/components and to provide engineering support in problem solving activities at the assembly plant (PER/VLO etc.) from pilot phase through launch, when requested.
Own technical validation plans for ED (Engineering Design), DV (Design Validation) and PV (Process Validation) testing, ensuring they are completed on time, resolving and escalating non compliances and providing info to PMO support team.
In case of a maintenance model assignment, all the above mentioned activities will be aimed to manage life cycle upgrades (i.e. MCA, Buzz models,…), cost reductions and quality improvement.
