  • Issue Binning & Tracking: Summarize vehicle compliance after build events, generate issue lists, lead CTQ AIMS issue logging/updates, and set up binning sessions with cross-functional teams (PD, VOME, STA, and Suppliers) within 1 week of audit completion.

  • Pre-Graining & AAR Approvals: Analyze dimensional and launch build data to execute OK to Grain assessments for pre-graining approval and review/approve Appearance Approval Reports ( AAR ).

  • CAD & Packaging Review: Utilize Catia, Teamcenter, and VisMockup to inspect CAD data, review clearances/packaging, and analyze interior/exterior part interfaces.

Qualifications & Requirements Required Skills & Experience
  • Automotive Experience: 3+ years of hands-on automotive Body Interior/Exterior quality, dimensional, or launch experience.

  • GD&T Expertise: Demonstrated knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) and hands-on physical vehicle dimensioning techniques.

  • Software & CAD Tools: Experience using Teamcenter & VisMockup (designer level equivalent) and/or Catia to navigate 3D CAD data, check packaging, and analyze clearances.

  • Issue Management: Familiarity with automotive issue tracking systems (e.g., AIMS) and leading root-cause binning sessions.

  • Language & Tech: Proficient in English (95%+ fluency required); proficient in MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).

Preferred Qualifications
  • Six Sigma: Six Sigma Green Belt certification with DMAIC and root-cause analysis expertise.

  • Auditing: Formal experience conducting static fit-and-finish plant audits and GFCPA perceived quality reviews.
