** Inside the Role
** The Engineering Quality, Safety and Compliance (EQSC) team at DTNA is at the heart of product integrity, design risk assessment, and data-driven quality improvement across vehicle development programs. EQSC works with design engineering, product validation, manufacturing, service, warranty, and cross-functional teams to improve how engineering quality work products are created, connected, governed, and used to support stronger design decisions.
In this role, you will be a key contributor to the EQSC team with responsibility for improving data lifecycle practices and connecting design risk assessment with manufacturing and real-world field insights. You will support short- and long-term quality improvement strategies, translate defined AI-enabled EQSC concepts into usable workflows, and help deploy practical data and process solutions through reliable, well-governed data models and agents.
This role is highly collaborative and requires the ability to work across Vehicle Level Engineering, Product Engineering, Product Validation, Manufacturing, Service, Quality, IT, and business stakeholders. The role will help operationalize the AI-enabled strategy envisioned by the leadership team across EQSC by coordinating user feedback, adoption documentation, training support, configuration inputs, and implementation readiness while preserving engineering verification ownership within the expert teams.
