Engineering Technician – Field Quality

What to Expect

As a Field Quality Engineering Technician, you play a crucial role in the Field Quality Team, a part of the Customer Quality organization at Giga Berlin.

Your field-based investigations, tests and audits gather data to drive continuous improvement of vehicle performance and component reliability in the factory and together with the Field Quality Engineer you create a fast, detailed and superior feedback loop for Quality Issues.

The expertise in vehicle systems, software and hardware engineering tools help identify trends, root causes of failure, and other areas of improvement, directly influencing product quality and customer satisfaction.

What You'll Do

Field Data Collection & Analysis

Conduction of field studies, on engineering, mileage accumulation, customer or competition fleet cars. Using tools and techniques not widely available to Service Operations

Audit processes or environmental factors post factory gate, to customer hands.

Low volume component teardown for initial failure analysis

Develop, build and perform system or component bench-tests to understand failure mode signatures and/or validation of corrective actions

Participate in user acceptance tests (UAT)

Engineering Fleet Support

Engineering Fleet Maintenance & Inspection

Test-Vehicle Instrumentation

Engineering Workshop Maintenance

Data Management & Reporting

Work closely with Field Quality Engineers to align field findings with internal quality standards

Use data analytics tools to interpret field data, track trends, and produce reports on vehicle quality and reliability

Present data-driven insights and recommendations to engineering and product development teams

Collaboration & Communication

Act as a liaison between the Service Operation teams and Quality Engineering department, relaying key insights from the field

Work with cross-functional teams to develop corrective and preventive action plans for recurring quality issues

Suggest enhancements to data collection methods and processes to improve field data accuracy and reporting efficiency
