Quality Project Lead FC

About the role

Responsible for Pre-Development deliverables and activities in a quality role, ensuring that products, architectures, or innovative functions are well-developed and realized as defined in the Pre-Development phase (advanced development for new technology and function creation). Additionally, lead quality continuous improvement activities (solving complex product issues) when necessary or upon request from the PDM team (in China).

The impact you’ll make:

• Provide leadership and steer all product quality-related activities in the Pre-Development phase, with special attention to:
  • Requirement development: user requirements/marketing brief, architecture for CTQ exploration
  • Driving robust and reliable design, ensuring life and reliability requirements
  • Managing risk, problems, and margins
  • Facilitating and reviewing FMEA with high-level design principles
  • Lead and coach the project team on the Quality Plan and quality tools (e.g., DFSS).
• Communicate regularly on quality status, especially safety elements at the architecture level; monitor throughout project execution; capture learnings from earlier projects (both on the development process and technical issues, FCR, PFQ improvements) and initiate improvements in new/current features.
• Work with the Pre-D team in a quality role to ensure a smooth handover from Pre-Development outcomes to the PDM (Product Development Management) team.
• Ensure product safety, compliance, regulatory, and sustainability requirements through high-level architecture/feature assessments during Pre-D when necessary (e.g., considering new EU directives such as easily replaceable battery packs in cordless vacuum cleaners at the design stage).
• Support LCM (Life Cycle Management) activities to ensure smooth launches of existing products into new markets and identify root causes/resolutions for sustaining product issues.
• Support Pre-D activities, especially HBSRA (Safety Risk Assessment), to prevent significant issues later in the PDM phase.
• Lead cross-functional teams toward achieving the desired product quality level.
• Organize and analyze defect samples from the EU market, seeking opportunities for product improvement when necessary or upon request from the PDM team.

The skills and knowledge you’ll bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Electronic Engineering (preferred) with 5+ years of related experience in quality, or a Master’s degree with 3+ years of related experience in quality.
• Experience in understanding and translating regulatory standards, especially EU directives on domestic appliances.
• Proven ability to balance risks and opportunities of innovative solutions and apply Design for Six Sigma (DFSS).
• Conceptual thinker, analytically strong, data-driven, and hands-on.
• A strong leader and team player with excellent communication and motivational skills, adept at managing interpersonal processes.
• Courageous and able to continuously challenge the status quo, with a strong desire to improve organizational effectiveness structurally.
• Always striving for excellence; does not accept underperformance or poor results; demonstrates a quality-first mindset.
• Certified Green Belt (GB) or Black Belt (BB) preferred.
• Experience in the domestic appliance industry, particularly in a development quality role, is preferred.
• Proven track record in product development and quality within international, multi-disciplinary consumer product development projects.
• Strong leadership, communication, and influencing skills.
• Fluent in English.
