• Drive innovation and identify improvement areas for Vehicle Assembly Plants (VAPs) using BoO standards and ensure effective implementation.

• Interact with cross-functional teams, such as PE and SQ to establish new manufacturing standards for all electrical components, such as wire harness manufacturing processes, modules, etc. 

• Foster a forward-thinking work culture that embraces change and navigates future challenges.

• Build and nurture strategic relationships across various functions including software, manufacturing, and program management to synergize efforts towards future innovations.

Additional Job Description
