This positions is responsible of commissioning of pre-series vehicles for ID4 (EV) and Atlas (ICB).

The Specialist is analyzing errors and evaluate countermeasures to ensure buildability of the vehicles and on time delivery.

Follow pre-series vehicles in Production or stationary builds to document any EE related buildability topics and testing of pre-series vehicle wire harness before assembly (ABP)

Support Production in EE related topic for deeper analysis and providing solutions incl. documentation and rework/training instructions. Analyze statistic data to build up documentation for analysis.

Lead escalation meetings for EE related commissioning problems together with other departments and suppliers to ensure quick solution implementation

Work together with the relevant departments e.g. Development, Logistic, Production and Quality Assurance.

Support of the CFT E/E and other CFTs or working groups on request.

Analyze construction changes (AEKO) and deviation permits (AWE), CAD data, drawings, and descriptions for any potential electric buildability issue and follow up with the relevant departments to solve the problems before build of vehicles.
