About the Role

As a Quality Engineer, you will safeguard the safety, reliability, and regulatory integrity of Daimler Truck vehicles by leading early phase design risk and requirements processes. You will help engineering teams identify hazards, eliminate failure modes, prevent late design changes, and enable clear, manufacturable, and testable designs. Your domain will focus on Chassis Structure Systems, including frames, fifth wheels, chassis components, tanks, and battery boxes.

Responsibilities

Lead DFMEA, Component Specification, and Designation Safety‑Relevant (DS) processes to drive early risk visibility, strengthen requirements clarity, and reduce downstream design changes while preventing safety‑critical failures.
Act as a risk authority and facilitator, guiding engineering teams to identify, assess, and reduce design risks prior to release.
Ensure DFMEA findings are translated into clear actions, requirements, and traceable mitigations.
Moderate DFMEAs with system owners, component engineers, and test engineers, ensuring high technical rigor and constructive challenge.
Assign, track, and verify closure of DFMEA actions before final design release.
Lead DFMEA audits of supplier components, as required.
Author and review quality‑related specification content for systems and components.
Lead Designation Safety-Relevant (DS) analysis in collaboration with design engineering, operations quality, manufacturing, and service teams to ensure assembly single-point failures with potential safety risk to road users are identified and mitigated through design improvements or manufacturing controls using safety-critical Special Characteristics.
Ensure Special Characteristics are properly specified on installation diagrams and support flow‑down of Special Characteristics to PFMEAs, control plans, and supplier documentation.
Represent Engineering Quality in project governance forums and core team visual management meetings.
Ensure all EQ deliverables are completed on time, at high quality, and escalated appropriately when risks emerge.
Track and communicate engineering quality KPIs, open risks, and systemic issues—acting as a quality voice within Engineering.

Requirements

Proven ability to influence without direct authority and challenge design decisions constructively.
Excellent facilitation, communication, and stakeholder management skills across functions and levels.
