Wire Harness Specialist

Role Summary:

This position is responsible of commissioning of pre-series vehicles for ID4 (EV) and Atlas (ICB). She/he is analyzing errors and evaluate countermeasures to ensure buildability of the vehicles and on time delivery. Follow pre-series vehicles in Production or stationary builds to document any EE related buildability topics and testing of pre-series vehicle wire harness before assembly (ABP) Support Production in EE related topic for deeper analysis and providing solutions incl. documentation and rework/training instructions. Analyze statistic data to build up documentation for analysis. Lead escalation meetings for EE related commissioning problems together with other departments and suppliers to ensure quick solution implementation Work together with the relevant departments e.g. Development, Logistic, Production and Quality Assurance. Support of the CFT E/E and other CFTs or working groups on request. Analyze construction changes (AEKO) and deviation permits (AWE), CAD data, drawings, and descriptions for any potential electric buildability issue and follow up with the relevant departments to solve the problems before build of vehicles. 

Role Responsibilities: 

• Perform wire harness test. 
• Document results. 
• Maintenance and update ABP-Tool software and hardware (connection list, changes, connector updates).
• Coordinate wire harness test together with Logistic. Update parts when necessary.
• Evaluate technical changes (AEKO, AWE) about buildability, cost, quality, ergonomics, and customer relevance.
• Ensure following pre-series build schedules. Ensure high quality in each build stage with special focus on orientation of wire harness.
• Document the rework time in pre-series and make proposal how to reduce.
• Perform and lead complex problem-solving issues with respect to fit and function in all manufacturing areas.
• Work in CFT groups for problem solving activities.
• Analyze measurement reports, CAD data, drawings, technical descriptions and 3D models for any buildability issue.
• Perform root causes analysis of electric problems incl. hands on techniques, define and introduce counter measures.
• Document buildability problems in KMP, Streifenliste or in similar tools. Distribute the report in relation to the project status regularly.
• Perform part sample production trials to detect process defects or errors and to confirm product changes and quality improvements.
• Optimize operating processes, parts, production time and product cost.
• Initiate product and process changes when necessary
• Initiate product “re-work” instructions.
• Develop and integrate special tools, models and templates as necessary.
• Organize, participate and report in meetings.
• Confirm production readiness, give the build approval for pre-series electronic
