Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your quality management and supplier performance expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside collaborative and dynamic teammates.

Ensure that applicable processes and standards are known and applied by Engineering teams:

Promote the references to be used in tenders, projects and programs, such as APSYS, DTRF, EI, Reference solutions,…

support the PrQSM / PQSM / QMS to perform engineering audit / inspection (under the internal audit governance) to check adherence to processes and standards, such as: Verification, Validation, and Requirement management.

Alert the relevant process owners or correspondants in case of process deviation and monitor corrective actions

Support process owners to perform transversal analysis (using sources like audit and inspection findings)

Challenge the engineering strategies by reviewing the Engineering Management Plans (e.g. technical reviews, delivery plan)

Ensure deployment of Critical Item Assessment (CIA) or Critical Technical Topic (CTT) activities during tender, project, and programs:

Ensure that the CIA / CTT allow to define the relevant Design Review list and DFMEA (Design failure mode and effect analysis)

Ensure the right DFMEA leaders and Design Review experts are selected

Ensure that Design Reviews, DFMEAs and their stakeholders are reflected in the project/program management plans.

Makes sure that Design Reviews (DR) and other technical reviews are efficiently held (during tender, project and program):

Check quality status of Engineering deliverables (using AVVA, peer reviews, …) as valid inputs for the design reviews

Make sure that DR are prepared, involve the expected Quorum, and feed GR process,

In RS activities, Chair Go concept and Go spec, with the expected Quorum, in order to feed tender process,

Ensure applicable DR checklists are used and populated with evidences and associated actions, Person in charge (PIC), and due dates.

Challenge conclusions and check consistency of the Design Review vs Project Risks,

Ensure that DR report is released by Engineering Team, circulated and used to feed Development for Quality (DFQ) checklists

Follow action plan and updated Design Review status.

Ensure DFMEAs activities deployment in each project:

Assure the expected participation during DFMEA according to the related management plans

Ensure expected DFMEAs are performed before respective Preliminary Gate Review (PGR), and related actions implemented at Critical Gate Review (CGR).

Control DFMEA action plan and Risk Priority Number (RPN) re-evaluation before relevant DFQ milestones (especially: Go Serial Review (GSR))

Manage Engineering Quality issues:

Make sure that issues detected in design review or DFMEA are addressed with actions and resolved in time, for instance with Engineering Single List of Issues (ESLI).

Assure that the ESLI routines are held by the Project Engineering Manager (PREM)/ Chief of Development (COD)/ Bid Technical Manager (BTM) and their team to update ESLI with progress/evidences.

In case of modifications with significant cost impact, open Kx in PST to launch analysis until REX.

Make sure that Engineering team is included in Customer issues solving process (if needed).

Contribute to transversal analysis of engineering issues, in which those detected during Customer surveys

Lead Improvements related to Return of Experience (REX):

Lead local REX committee and propose return of experience to improve Engineering standards and processes,

Convey local REX to improve Design Review check lists and/or DFQ check lists.

Monitor recurrence in project execution with non-recurrence list

Contribute (for instance through DFQ NOGO analysis) to build Lean & Right First Time Engineering Processes (more preventive, less corrective).
