Quality Management Powertrain

The powertrain - the heart of our automobiles. In 15 locations across Europe, Asia, and the USA, we produce the six building blocks that move our automobiles: axles, engines, transmissions, batteries, electric powertrains, and components.

And we are part of this network. As quality management powertrain, we ensure that our customers experience Mercedes-Benz powertrain products in top quality.

Be a part of this and get an insight into the comprehensive work contents and working methods of quality management. In cooperation with numerous partners within and outside our center, you will have the opportunity to implement your innovative ideas.

Our team "QM-System Powertrain and digitalization" is responsible for audit management, the standardization of processes and methods at the powertrain locations in Stuttgart, Berlin, and Hamburg, as well as the ensuring the development of the quality management system and quality capability towards third parties (certification) of the above-mentioned locations.

When it comes to quality management and especially QM-System, do you first think of compliance with normative, legal, and regulatory requirements? That is certainly correct. However, if you also believe that this is a dry field with a focus on the tedious rolling of norms, we can tell you that this is not the case.

Our team is involved in various exciting fields related to quality. Whether it is the design of the QM-System of our Mercedes-Benz powertrain locations Untertürkheim, Berlin, and Hamburg, the approvals of processes for new products, or the digitalization of our quality-relevant data.

We do not work in the quiet chambers but work closely with almost all areas and employees in other powertrain plants.
