This new role of Senior TS Product Integrity is needed to be a focus within the new product development space for new technologies such as ADAS, Electrified Powertrain etc, as a consultant/facilitator bringing together the considerations of safety regulation, product liability litigation and whole business risk management in the arena’s of Active, Passive, Functional Safety and Real World safety to provide guidance and direction to product engineering teams in relation to industry state of the art and pragmatic system design to optimise product cost vs safety risk in relation to new feature creation for example ADAS, Vehicle High Voltage systems.

The Product Integrity team have identified several situations where immature data analytics has identified significant system requirement on cost that were unjustified as a consequence of there being no process or forum for independent review and judication of decisions. Lack of early intervention leads to litigation problematic documentation which needs to be avoided.

This role is critical to ensuring product safety at new vehicle launch, preventing product recall costs by ensuring robust safety design and acceptable levels of residual risk.

The role is to deliver the newly defined Level 2 Product Safety and compliance group process in relation to vehicles under development as agreed with the board directors for Product Engineering, Vehicle Line, Company Quality and Legal & Compliance.
