- Validate process readiness before SOP (tools, gages, measurement systems, automation, inspection plans).

InProcess Quality &

- Plant Performance

- Own FPY, PPM, scrap, rework, and OEEquality metrics for stator, rotor, and final assembly lines.

- Ensure robust Control Plan deployment, gage calibration, SPC on CTQs (hairpin welds, insulation integrity, press fits, magnet placement).

- Monitor and improve EOL test signatures:



electrical performance, torque ripple, partial discharge, hipot, runin vibration/noise.

- Lead Layered Process Audits (LPA), gemba walks, and containment for nonconformance issues.

Supplier Quality Management (SQE)

- Manage supplier quality for magnets, laminations, copper, machined parts, castings, adhesives/resins, sensors, and electronics.

- Conduct supplier audits (VDA 6.3 preferred), approve PPAPs, ensure incoming quality checks, and track supplier PPM/OTD.

- Drive supplier corrective actions (8D), dualsourcing risk plans, and costofpoorquality reduction.

Customer Quality &

- Issue Resolution

- Act as the primary interface for OEM/Tier1 customers for all quality matters.

- Lead customer complaint resolution with 8D, root cause analysis, and permanent corrective actions.

- Manage warranty data, reliability growth, field returns (teardown analysis), and customer scorecards.

- Own customer audits, QBRs, and new program readiness reviews.

Problem Solving &

- Continuous Improvement

- Lead structured problem-solving (8D, A3, 5Why, Fishbone) for line issues and customer complaints.

- Support Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen projects focused on yield, scrap, equipment uptime, and process capability.

- Enable digital quality dashboards, data analytics (FPY, PPM, Cp/Cpk, warranty), and predictive insights.

Leadership &

- Team Management

- Lead a team of Quality Engineers, Technicians, Inspectors, and SQE.





- Define skill matrices, training needs, certification levels, and audit competencies.

- Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.
