Test service request process, review and analysis.
Analyze customer specification with the product manager and quality PTM, challenge the tests requested and define the final validation plan to build the final offer.
Define the need of specific tools or bench (characterization, reliability...)
Define also the associated budget.
Write the detailed validation plan and test specification including both OEM validation and also TIer 1 customer requirements (to achieve quality targets)
Schedule the validation plan and manage the test with the support of laboratory resources (technicians...)
Responsible for the main relationship with the customer and project team for environmental validations (methods and results) wherever the tests are located (USA, abroad, external lab...)
Work in parallel with the project team; contribute to correct the design in order to meet product performance.
Manage the configuration and logistics of tested parts
Lead validation FMEA generation for assigned project
General DR's for software, hardware & product design reviews, problem resolution, FMEA analysis.
Manage the planning inside the laboratory and allocate resources (technicians, tools, benches,...)
Responsible to obtain the specific tools needed for the validation (need specification and follow-up) whenever they are done inside Valeo or external to Valeo
Manage the cost of the validation activities
