This is a co-op position which requires three alternating rotations (e. g. 1st rotation: spring, 2nd rotation: fall, 3rd rotation: summer).
The student will be exposed to new product content, involved in projects, and engage in collaborative department work. Candidates will support the launch and change coordinators with activities to verify the bill of material and demand logic changes for vehicle production. We will develop the student to lead their own process improvement projects. Activities will focus on further development and optimizing of data analytical systems to improve processes and reporting and direct support of the team steering new integration levels into launch and series product.
The Intern should expect to support and improve the following:
- Support Launch and Change Coordinators with engineering changes:
- Create, manage, and validate component overviews for specific parts of the car
- Contribute to Test Car BOM (Bill of Material) validation, where the new design changes are verified (i.e., the correct part is systematically steered to the correct vehicle)
- Support the coordination of Line Trials, where new parts are physically tested in the production environment
- Investigate design topics through data analysis
- Report generation and maintenance
- Major projects in this role focus on efficiency improvements and data accuracy, that could include:
- Implementing solutions to improve efficiency in the processes
- Complete various process mapping exercises (e.g., process flow, swim lane, etc.)
- Create content overview for different vehicle modules
- Facilitates workshops to define the current process and outline areas of opportunity.
- NOTE: most of the processes within TX-511/512 are systematic and information based, so many of the improvement opportunities lie in systematic process changes
