Role

Section Head - Design Robustness

A purpose driven role for you

Lead and govern the Design Review, DFMEA and DVP-derivation process across all technical domains — Body/Structural, EE, Engine/Powertrain, Plastic/Optical and Vehicle Integration — building and managing a team of individual-contributor reliability engineers. Own the department's reliability strategy, standards and governance framework to drive First Time Right design quality, and close the loop between Market Quality/Warranty performance and forward design and validation practice across all two-wheeler programs.

A Day in the life

The role carries end-to-end accountability for the Reliability & Robustness department's output — technical rigor across the five domains, and the people, process and stakeholder management needed to deliver it consistently across concurrent programs. It combines hands-on technical governance with team leadership and senior-level program representation. Core activities include:




• Own department-level governance of the Design Review, DFMEA and DVP-derivation process across all five technical domains, ensuring consistent methodology and gate discipline.
• Build, lead and develop a team of domain reliability engineers (Body/Structural, EE, Engine/Powertrain, Plastic/Optical, Vehicle Integration).
• Represent the department in senior program reviews, presenting design-quality and reliability risk status to leadership.
• Own the department's reliability standards, guideline library and training curriculum, and drive their horizontal deployment across programs.
• Partner with Market Quality and Warranty teams to close the loop between field performance and forward design/test practice.
• Drive the CAE-Weibull-based cycle-time compression roadmap across programs, balancing speed-to-market with design robustness.
