Job Description Summary
Job SummaryAs Senior Manager - Global Quality Engineering & Continuous Improvement for Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) product portfolio you will lead the definition deployment and sustainment of quality engineering processes across the complete product scope. This role defines and implements core quality tools (FMEA Process control plans MSA SPC) establishes governing processes and standards and ensures all NPI quality deliverables are executed in line with the Confluence NPI process. This position leads and coaches structure root cause analysis ensuring effective deployment and sustainment of problem-solving methodologies. As a subject matter expert in Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) products this position leads investigation and resolution of complex quality issues drives first pass yield improvements and ensures systematic integration of lessons learned from field performance customer feedback and manufacturing operations. This position defines and leads Quality Built-In strategies ensures successful production transfers and governs the capture and analysis of reliability metrics to drive continuous improvement.
Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities
- Responsible for defining deploying and sustaining quality engineering and assurance processes across the product lifecycle.
- Leads the implementation of core quality engineering toolsincluding Design and Process FMEA Process Control Plans MSA and SPCand defines the governing processes standards and documentation required to deploy these methodologies consistently across Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) product portfolio /GIS product manufacturing sites.
- Lead and ensure completion of all NPI Quality deliverables in line with the Confluence NPI process and checklists securing full compliance prior to each BOD stage-gate approval.
- Serves as a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and problem-solving coach training and supporting RCA leaders across functions to ensure that structured problem-solving methodologies are effectively deployed embedded and sustained.
- As an expert in Quality domain and subject matter leads the investigation Structured root cause analysis and resolution of complex quality and product failures both at manufacturing sites and at customer locations delivering robust corrective and preventive actions. Also leads and Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) products which do not meet first pass yield (FPY) targets and secure that the FPY results are achieved and sustained across all models.
- This position is also to define and lead the systematic integration of lessons learned from Field performance Root causes analysis and corrective actions & preventive actions for quality technical issues and associated quality nonconformities from customer sites and at the manufacturing lines /routine test beds. These learnings are translated into Design FMEA and Process FMEA updates driving continuous product and process robustness.
- Drive high-impact Quality Kaizen initiatives across plants by leading and enabling plant quality teams.
- Identify and drive harmonization initiatives across product groups to enhance product quality and simplify Quality control and Quality assurance processes.
- Implement structured manufacturing process audits across plants to identify gaps and enhance product quality covering all processesincluding routine testingfor Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) products.
- In addition the role defines and deploys Quality Built-In strategies focusing on:
- Reduction of high-severity failure mode occurrence
- Implementation of mistake-proofing (L1 process controls)
- Deployment of early warning systems (L2 process controls)
- Strengthening detection controls and defect escape prevention mechanisms
- The role provides strong quality leadership for Transfer of Work (TOW) projects ensuring quality is planned and achieved in assurance mode enabling smooth production ramp-up and stable serial production through proactive risk identification and robust process controls.
Additionally this position defines and governs the systematic capture analysis and monitoring of reliability and availability metrics including MTBF and failure rates to support data-driven quality and reliability improvement initiatives
