You'll need to be highly proactive, comfortable with working with a high degree of autonomy, and able to integrate quickly and effectively into high-performing cross-functional teams. Your remit will be to provide support for vehicle launches, through the identification and root cause analysis of engineering issues, as well as the implementation of temporary containments and permanent corrective actions.
To excel in this role, you'll need to embody unity, trust, and openness. This role requires an individual who is adaptable and resilient, able to positively adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced environment, while also juggling multiple tasks or projects simultaneously.
