Overview
DEVELOPMENT LEAD Underbody Responsibilities
Objective:To provide technical leadership to a group of release engineers.Responsible for developing part designs and/or systems assuring that design rules are followed, and design practices are implemented, consistently across all components and systems within the organization.Additionally, support the Development Team in assessing and developing the technical know-how of the organization & meet the Deliverables shorter lead time.BIW Parts:Front side member , Dash & Cowl assembly floor, Sill inner assembly , RR floor assembly, Bumper beams , Battery tray (12 V)Key Responsibilities:Create Parametric Surface models of Under body components of BIW as perPackaging requirementsDesign standardsPerformance criteriaGeometrical requirementsManufacturing requirementsCreate Associative Assembly modelsDMU check for clash and clearancesResponsible for meeting DVP&R and DFMEA by virtual analysis by interacting with necessary CAE teamsTake part in periodic design reviews for all the project assigned, update status and concernsEnsure the Design meet all design criteria and mating part criteria from other functional areas, confirm to Regulatory standards, best practices, voice of customerAdhere to TC/PLM system rules and maintain part historyMaintain the structure as per EBOM in TC/ PLM systemRelease parts and assemblies as per Corporate Release ProcessWork with EBOM Team to maintain structure up to dateTo assist the PC/PR (development team) to do the technical feasibility, design robustness, component manufacturability and the compliance of technical documentationTo ensure the completeness/availability of all documents necessary for tooling release.Participate in Supplier Technical ReviewsTo interact with the suppliers & plant to understand any issues & ensure the issues are addressed with appropriate feedback without leading to any delay in deliveryEscalate with the appropriate time to involve the mangers for the risk mitigation help.Assist PC/PR( Development team) in providing engineering support to problem solving activities at the assembly plant from pilot phase through launch / post launchSupport the Change management by design changes and /or incorporating feed backs from Development teamWork with PC/PR (Development team) and participate in the diagnostic activities on the relevant systems/componentsTask / DeliverablesIn the area of competence can be responsible for:Support managers to meet the quality, cost and weight efficient designs that ensures successful launch while meeting program objectives.Consolidation of CAD & work with cost estimation to find the proposed platform solution Vs cost impact & vendor tooling investment.Lead standardization, re-use, harmonization, benchmarking, and lessons learned activities in his/her domain, ensuring the application of corporate technical best practices.Support Project Team with his/her technical know-how to: develop technical solutions, root-cause issues.Work along with CAD/ DRE for the system integration & design execution on time to meet the gate way requirementsLead product diversity definition per KPI requirements along with Vehicle Program team, Product planning and Brand and SupplierResponsible for Source Package development.Within his/her responsibilities he/she must guarantee the conformity to Internal Control System rules.Performance INDICATORS (INDICATIVE):To meet Key vehicle, launch milestone with Cost, Quality per given timeline.
