A background in Lean/Six Sigma methodologies is highly preferred, with Green Belt or Black Belt certification considered a strong advantage for effectively driving root cause resolution and continuous improvement.

The candidate will report to a Team Lead or Manager and should possess strong analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills, along with working knowledge of automotive systems, warranty analytics, and issue management processes.
