Director del fiabilidad y calidad

ROLE DESCRIPTION

The High-Speed Cable Assembly Reliability & Testing (R&T) Leader will lead a dedicated team of R&T engineers and will have responsibility for driving standardized Design for Reliability Engineering (DfRE) and Robustness Validation (RV) methodologies for all High-Speed Cable Assembly Products in the DDN Portfolio. He / she and their team will work closely with customers, Product Development Engineering (PDE) teams, Manufacturing Process Development Engineering (MPDE) teams, Field Application Engineering (FAE) and Advanced Quality Engineering (AQE) to deeply understand the end application requirements and the associated “mission profile”. They will partner with the Global R&T COE to drive the application of standardized methodologies and alignment on all Reliability Testing and Test & Validation plans for each assigned new product development program. They will identify unique product line test needs and application testing requirements and work with the R&T COE to develop custom Test System & Software as required to support the unique testing requirements for each product line. In addition, they will partner with the Global R&T COE to co-develop Reliability Test Plans and Test & Validation Plans aligned with TE’s LeanPD stage gate approach for product development. The High-Speed Cable Assembly Reliability & Testing (R&T) Leader will oversee integrating reliability considerations during technology & product evaluation, NPI product development from receipt of Customer Spec (“mission profile”) through Product Release into mass production. DfRE Experts in the Global R&T COE will help determine the appropriate test strategy to collect data using destructive HALT or HAST techniques to evaluate product reliability. Based on collected data and in close collaboration with PDE teams, they will identify weak design / process features or components and work with PDE and AQE on corrective actions and improvement plans, engaging with material and component experts to evaluate improvements of the corrective actions by techniques such as stress / accelerated screening. They will also support failure analysis (F / A) and Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) of line scrap and customer returns as well as competitive benchmarking activities. R&T engineers and DfREs will leverage a reliability approach as defined in structured development methods such as DFSS, Toyota-inspired LPDS methodologies and Robust Design principles, and will master reliability data sources, stress acceleration models, ALT and Test to Failure analysis and other reliability tools to drive data- and capability-based decisions to ensure the reliability and robustness of DDN products meet and / or exceed customer expectations.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and drive standardized Design for Reliability Engineering (DfRE) and Robustness Validation (RV) methodologies for all High-Speed Cable Assembly products.
• Foster a DFSS culture with a focus on innovation, continuous learning, and First Time Right; provide product development and DFSS training, coaching, and mentoring to design teams.
• Oversee reliability-focused design activities using modeling / simulation, DOE, HALT / HAST, and Test-to-Failure; integrate reliability considerations into technology and NPI product development from customer spec through mass production; finalize T&V and Reliability Test Plans for High-Speed Cable Assembly products.
• Collaborate with PDEs to rapidly produce / evaluate first samples to speed time-to-market and drive early concept testing; identify weaknesses and failure mechanisms and validate improvements through testing and capability analysis.
• Work with MPDE on Process and Equipment Developments; develop comprehensive test plans to ensure six-sigma capability and support Concurrent Engineering.
• Support Manufacturing Quality with failure analysis and RCCA of line scrap, customer returns, and competitive benchmarking activities.
• Identify special testing needs and partner with Global R&T COE to develop custom test equipment, tests, and specifications; oversee all application testing for High-Speed Cable Assembly products.
• Provide leadership, coaching, and accountability to the team; drive organizational effectiveness and resource planning to align with BU strategy.
• Manage talent, identify skill gaps, and implement plans to ensure the right talent is matched to roles to meet business needs.
• Integrate reliability considerations during technology and product evaluation, and NPI product development from receipt of Customer Spec to mass production.
