Company culture :

Alten Maroc is defined by a deeply collaborative culture, focused on people, trust, and strong team support, with hands-on managers who guide and develop talent.
This environment is enhanced by a strong drive for innovation, encouraging creativity, initiative, and experimentation across projects.
A structured and disciplined organization ensures efficiency, rigor, and quality in engineering delivery.
Performance and ambition are part of the culture as well, supporting collective success while maintaining a positive and caring atmosphere.

• Lead the decision-making and change management processes, facilitating all governance forums (e.g., Change Meetings, Decision Meetings), while ensuring Quality, Cost, Timing, and Performance impacts are assessed against project targets.
• Manage component design activities within a cross-functional team, including co-location design processes, and escalate packaging conflicts across core engineering domains.
• Organize and oversee vehicle assembly assessments during both the digital phase (Digital Assembly) and physical phase (first vehicle slow build) in collaboration with suppliers.
• Take ownership, in coordination with the Vehicle Systems Manager (VSM), of the vehicle’s technical content (Scope Sheet) and associated graphical references, including the Visual BOM.
• Monitor and control project industrial complexity, including the number of parts, and track the Core Technical Structure (Carryover, Modified, New components).
• Ensure EBOM robustness, including full interchangeability of dual-sourced components, in alignment with packaging, performance, and safety requirements.
• Lead the escalation and resolution of component packaging issues from Styling Freeze through Tooling Kick-Off, with support from the packaging team.
• Oversee change management activities by evaluating Quality, Cost, Timing, and Performance impacts for all changes in line with project objectives.
• Coordinate with core engineering teams to monitor vehicle technical convergence and ensure alignment on packaging, performance, and safety topics with the VSM.
• Ensure that all innovation initiatives planned within the project progress according to schedule, and manage escalations when necessary.
• Coordinate core engineering functions (Body, Interior, Chassis, Electronics including software, Propulsion) regarding component certification and compliance status, as well as sustainability indicators (e.g., GWP, CNZ, Green Bond tracking).
• Lead the resolution of escalations related to Design Standard Time between component design and manufacturing processes.
• Manage and track all required part and software updates for pre-SOP vehicles to ensure compliance prior to market release.
• Coordinate and escalate cross-functional issues between the main vehicle project and related modules, platform programs, propulsion, and software projects, in alignment with the VSM.
• Ensure consideration of international requirements, including constraints related to regional manufacturing locations, while supporting alignment with global functional requirements.

Skills

• Strong soft skills (leadership, communication, stakeholder management)
• Experience within a global automotive environment
• Proficiency in PLM tools
• Advanced Excel skills
• Project planning tools (e.g., Gantt charts, MS Project)

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the achievement of all project targets related to Quality, Cost, Timing, and Performance, from pre-contract phase through to handover to mass production (serial life).
• Manage and lead cross-functional teams responsible for delivering project objectives, ensuring alignment and accountability.
• Drive global alignment among all project stakeholders, balancing competing constraints and enabling effective decision-making.
• Communicate project status clearly to stakeholders at all levels, and define action plans to resolve critical issues and risks.
• As Program CVE, oversee multiple projects (top-hats) within the program scope, ensuring consistency and coordination.
• Ensure optimization of carry-over and commonality strategies across the different top-hat projects within the program.
