Harbinger is an American commercial electric vehicle (EV) company transforming the medium-duty EV and hybrid market. The Quality Engineer (Electrical) will ensure quality across electrical architecture, control systems, and electronic components throughout their lifecycle, acting as a liaison between engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.
Key Responsibilities:
- Monitor electrical and electronic quality performance metrics, proactively identifying and escalating high-impact issues using process, end-of-line test, and warranty data.
- Drive root cause analysis and resolution using data-driven approaches for issues such as electrical noise, signal integrity loss, component failure, and assembly defects.
- Implement continuous improvement by driving lessons learned into electrical design and manufacturing processes.
- Develop and track data-driven metrics for issue monitoring, electrical yields, and corrective action effectiveness.
- Create innovative tools and processes to enhance efficiency, electrical test coverage, and scalability across production.
- Develop electrical quality standards, quality control systems, and manufacturing/supplier quality protocols for electrical harnesses, power distribution units, controllers, and PCBAs.
- Perform thorough inspection and testing (Hi-Pot testing, continuity, resistance, functional electrical testing) to ensure compliance with specifications.
- Support assembly teams with electrical distribution units, high/low-voltage wiring harnesses, controllers, and electrical test equipment buyoff.
- Participate in design reviews (DFMEA/PFMEA) to mitigate manufacturing, wiring routing, grounding, and assembly risks.
- Lead root cause analysis efforts (8D, 5-Why) for internal and external electrical products.
- Lead Material Review Board (MRB) meetings and represent quality in engineering change control boards.
- Travel up to 30% of the time.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or related technical field.
