Your job is to make sure issues are found before the consumer does, and that every product leaving the NPD pipeline earns its 5 stars. Consumer delight is your beacon, and we stop at nothing to deliver for the consumer. You report into the VP, In-Market Product Quality & CustomerExcellenceand work in close partnership with Engineering and Product Development leads across the NPD portfolio. Key Responsibilities: 5-Star NPD Standard: Stand for the 5-star standard across all NPD programmes — raising flags early and challenging Engineering, Product Development, Marketing when trajectories fall short. Maintain a clear view of possible and real risk across the NPD portfolio and elevate when a product is not on track to hit the 5-star threshold at launch. Bring a structured, evidence-based perspective to every build review — not just flagging issues, but proposing specific, actionable improvements. EB0 and Pre-MP VEGA Hacks: Lead quality input into EB0 build reviews, ensuring all product excellence requirements are visible and tracked from the earliest engineering build. Drive Pre-MP VEGA Hacks — running structured hack sessions toidentifyand resolve quality and consumer experience issues before mass production lock. Ensure findings from EB0 andPre-MPactivities are documented, tracked to resolution, and fed back into the engineering and design process. Predictive Modelling for 5-Star Performance: Build and apply predictive models at each build stage to forecast in-market rating performance,identifyingthe consumer experience factors most likely to drive or suppress 5-star outcomes. Translate consumer validated results into structured,prioritisedrecommendations for Engineering, Product Development, Marketing — making it clear what needs to change and why it matters to the consumer. Track model accuracy over time and continuously refine the approach as new consumer data outcomes become available. Dot Connection to Testing Plan and Safety, Regulatory and Certification Delivery: Ensure Testing has built comprehensive testing plans and protocols for each NPDprogramme, covering performance, durability, safety, and consumer experience dimensions.Identifyinggaps and competitive opportunities to win inglobalmarket. Connect dots to the safety, regulatory, and certification delivery for NPDprogrammes, ensuring all products meet the required standards for every market they will launch in. Partner with Engineering,Testingand external test labs to ensure safety testing is planned, executed, and closed out on time, with issues escalated and resolved before they becomeprogrammeblockers. Pre-TRA Goodness: Own the quality and completeness of DFMEA ahead of TRA, ensuring all design failure modes areidentified, assessed, and have credible mitigation actions in place before the gate. Challenge Engineering to ensure DFMEAs reflect real-world consumer use, not just theoretical design intent — pushing forrigourand depth, not box-ticking. Track open DFMEA actions through to closure, ensuring nothing is carried forward into TRA without a clear resolution plan and owner. Who You Are: Required: 5+ years of experience in product quality, product development, or related engineering or consumer insights function — ideally within consumer electronics or home appliances. Working knowledge of DFMEA methodology— able to review, challenge, and improve DFMEA quality, not just sign it off. Familiarity with safety testing, regulatory standards, and certification processes across at least one major market (e.g. US, EU, UK). Analytical and data-literate — comfortable working with IHUT data, building structured outputs, and translating findings into engineering recommendations. Confident communicator who can challenge peers and senior stakeholders constructively, with evidence rather than opinion. Detail-oriented and structured, with the ability to manage multiple NPD programs simultaneously without dropping quality rigour on any of them. Strongly Preferred: Hands-on experience leading or contributing to VEGA hack sessions or equivalent structured pre-production quality events. Experience building or applying predictive quality models from consumer research or IHUT data.
