Standard Owner

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.
