Job Description
Do you want to lead Proactive Quality across the EE software, hardware and electrical/electronic systems? We're looking for a self-starter who can drive engineering teams to build in quality from the earliest design stage, not inspect for it later. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional leadership role with direct influence over the quality of next-generation, software-defined vehicles.
FEA Quality Lead owns quality for the vehicle's Functional & Electronic Architecture (FEA-x) domain: ADAS, Infotainment & Connectivity, Vehicle Access & Start, Secure Gateway Module, Body Control Module, Wiring and Electrical Architecture (STLA Atlantis High/Mid, Powernet, Brain 1.2). This role combines the Design Quality / Top Hat Quality Manager and FEA-x Quality Lead positions into one end-to-end technical authority for design integrity, owning Lessons Learned, APQP, risk management and design review leadership so past failures and emerging risks are caught early, not at launch.
You'll drive preventive quality gates and cross-program learning, support robust launches for Top Hat programs and derivative vehicles built on the same electrical architecture and partner with Quality Domain / Functional Quality Managers to run independent technical assessments from the first design review through every PDP milestone.

Key Responsibilities:
Own Quality KPIs and forecast quality performance across the FEA-x domainCapture and deploy Lessons Learned across Top Hat programs sharing the same electrical architectureLead structured Design Reviews with FEAs and SSTMs, covering design readiness, feature availability, validation maturity, software robustness and DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) convergenceRun independent, cross-functional design assessments across the full FEA-x module set, enforcing corrective actions from the earliest design review onwardPresent design integrity and quality status at each vehicle PDP milestone reviewTrack APQP (HW/SW) and SystemDFMEA/PFMEA
