As one of our Gen>NEXT students, you will be part of the team from day one and encouraged to add new ideas and value to the business.

The Process-Chain Quality Intern will support the group in the tracking and management of the Problem Solving Process and generation of the Series Warranty Prognosis - collect user quality data from launch phases, collate and use algorithms for predicting warranty landscape in series.  Investigate issues detected by internal sensors and from Warranty-sensors to ensure immediate containment and efficient problem solving.

The qualified intern/Co-op should expect to contribute & improve in the following functions:

 

• Structured Problem-Solving Skills
• Data analysis - launch phases generate numerous PQM points - occurrence and severity to be analyzed for prognosis algorithms
• Support engineering with analysis of pre-series parts to ensure robust Root Cause Analysis Process (application of quality methods - Ishikawa, 5-Why, 8D, FMEA, etc)
• Monitor and investigate sensor data not reported as incidents while supporting the team with streamlining of reporting requirements.
• Plan and conduct GEMBAs with engineering and production teams to investigate quality issues on new product.
• Support with a special projects aimed at improving problem detection, management and solving processes.
• Quality Workshops - plan, schedule, run and document quality workshops with Modules and Sensors during Launch Phase to ensure proper transparency to landscape and sufficient effectiveness of measures.
• Evolution of Patterns - collaborate with Field Claim Sensor to establish patterns based on current fault landscape prior to Start of Production - ensure robust transparency going into series production.
• For International Interns:  development and execution of a larger project in the area of Quality Requirements, Steering or Proactive Prevention, including a report to management
