The role supports switchgear factories across America, Asia, and Europe in addressing critical quality issues through structured problem solving, root cause analysis, and disciplined follow-up from containment to closure.

• Serve as a subject-matter expert in root cause analysis and structured problem solving, including 8D, A3, and DMAIC.
• Support factory containment, corrective actions, recovery plans, and effectiveness verification for significant quality issues.
• Ensure lessons learned and systemic corrective actions are identified and horizontally replicated across applicable factories.
• Support factory quality performance reviews to identify emerging risks, recurring issues, and improvement opportunities.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, or industrial engineering, quality management, or a related technical field, with experience in Switchgear engineering or manufacturing (AIS or GIS), including associated live-tank or dead-tank circuit breakers.
• Demonstrated technical expertise in medium- and high-voltage Switchgear equipment, or the ability and willingness to further develop hands-on knowledge, including circuit breakers, instrument transformers, bus systems, control wiring and protection interfaces, insulation and gas systems, mechanical assemblies, interlocks, production testing, and common product and process failure modes.
• Ability to independently interpret and challenge Switchgear engineering drawings, bills of material, product specifications, manufacturing instructions, test procedures, and applicable electrical-equipment standards, and translate technical requirements into effective shopfloor controls.
• Strong working knowledge of critical-to-quality characteristics, inspection and test controls, traceability, workmanship standards, nonconformance management, and applicable customer, regulatory, and industry requirements.
• Demonstrated command of TQM, Lean, Six Sigma, FMEA, 8D, statistical methods, and process-capability tools, with a proven record of cross-functional problem solving, organizational change, and coaching; relevant certification is an advantage.
• Strong analytical, communication, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills. Confidence working with manufacturing, quality, and test data and digital dashboards. Fluency in spoken and written English for technical discussions and meetings, and willingness to provide on-site factory support with 30-50% travel.
