For our newly created Development center of VALEO Power division in Prague, we are searching for Standard Owner/EDC Mechanical to support the development of new generation of Electrical compressors.
YOUR CHALLENGES:
Capitalization & standardization
- Create & maintain technical standards to capitalize the know-how covering their scope of ownership.
- Capitalize the Lessons Learned (LLCs) in their standards to ensure a fast implementation in new projects.
- Ensures that their standards are “easy to use” worldwide (easy to check, to understand, to access, to learn).
- Participate in the Standardization Committees.
- Technical training
- Ensures that their standards are covered by a training module as much as possible.
- Develop & maintain the training modules covering their standards.
- Perform training to worldwide simultaneous engineering teams (through a Technical Institute)
Design Reviews
- Perform the RAISE Design Reviews for all projects in their scope of ownership.
- Assess the implementation of standards and the technical risks (incl. manufacturability) based on applicable checklists.
- Define with the engineering teams the relevant action plans and track the progress.
- Assess de-standardization requests issued by project teams.
Continuous improvement & innovation
- Ensure continuous improvement of standards through development of technologies & product functions, innovation and technology watch.
Support to engineering teams
- Support the engineering teams to solve difficult technical issues when needed.
- Support by participating in customer or supplier meetings when needed.
- Promote RAISE methodology and usage of standards. Develop team spirit with engineering teams.
