About the Role
Our Manufacturing Development Center (MDC) is seeking a dedicated professional to assist with vehicle build coordination and Production-Oriented Design (POD) initiatives for our ongoing Mosaic PAR programs, specifically the 47V and 47F platforms. You will function as an integrated member of the MDC team, working directly on-site to drive project success.
Our Mission
The MDC focuses on enhancing manufacturing readiness by integrating design validation early in the development lifecycle. By hosting Production-Oriented Design (POD) workshops during the B-sample and C-sample stages, we unite teams from Design Engineering, Plant Manufacturing, Quality, Logistics, and Program Management to resolve potential issues before full-scale production begins. We are currently supporting over nine PAR programs through 2032, with a primary focus on the 47V and 47F initiatives as part of the Project Mosaic roadmap.
