Your mission & challenges
You'll take ownership of building and ensuring robust product and process quality for the humanoid robot 4NE1 – from prototype through to industrialization into series production.
Your responsibilities:
- Own product and process quality for the 4NE1
- Handle customer complaints and build a structured complaint management system
- Plan and conduct product, process, and supplier audits
- Create and maintain inspection plans, control plans, PFMEA, and quality standards
- Build a central quality database and a lessons-learned system
- Introduce a Quality Management Board with daily quality routines
- Analyze quality deviations (8D, 5 Why, Ishikawa) and define sustainable corrective actions
- Define and manage quality KPIs (FPY, PPM, rework, scrap, cost of quality, audit score)
- Work closely with development, production, purchasing, logistics, and process engineering
- Approve engineering changes and support industrialization
- Support EOL testing and product validation
- Drive supplier development and quality improvement across the supply chain
- Build a zero-defect and continuous-improvement culture
- Prepare the organization for series production and customer approvals
You'll be measured by:
First pass yield, PPM, rework rate, audit compliance, engineering change lead time, customer complaints, supplier quality
