Key Responsibilities

Lead the end-to-end development of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system from RFQ to serial life. Manage the technical activities of suppliers responsible for the Motor Gear Unit (MGU) and EPB software. Ensure compliance with project milestones, development schedules, and technical deliverables. Coordinate activities across multidisciplinary teams, including systems, validation, quality, manufacturing, and suppliers. Monitor software releases and verify compliance with functional and project requirements. Lead validation activities and analyze test results performed by internal teams and suppliers. Review and approve test reports, identify deviations, and ensure corrective actions are implemented and closed. Analyze issues identified during vehicle, bench, and laboratory testing. Drive corrective action plans and ensure their integration into subsequent software releases. Ensure the robustness, reliability, and performance of EPB functions throughout the development lifecycle. Monitor product and process maturity in accordance with APQP standards. Support engineering change management activities and implementation within the PLM environment. Ensure alignment with the Hardware Lead (calipers) by securing technical interfaces and development milestones between EPB actuators, calipers, and software.
