currently looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Engineering Quality Manager.Purpose of the job:Assure the inspection of Engineering deliverables: (self-)inspections, peer reviews, AVVA,...Stop “non-quality“ of deliverables at the end of every design phase, through challenging Design Reviews.Assure an efficient Return of Experiences Process within Engineering, to reduce changes & costs of non-quality.Support Engineering to have Lean & Right First Time Processes (more preventive, less corrective).Network & LinksInternal:Quality organization (local/central), such as PrQSM, PQSM, QMS.Engineering teams (local/central).Platform teams.Local process correspondent network.External:Sub-contractors.Partners.Main ResponsibilitiesEnsure that Engineering standards are well known and applied:Promote the references to be used in tenders, projects and programs, such as APSYS, DTRF, EI, Reference solutions,…Support the PrQSM / PQSM / QMS to perform engineering audit / inspection (under the internal audit governance) to check adherence to processes and standards, such as: Verification, Validation, and Requirement management.Alert the relevant process owners or correspondents in case of process deviation and monitor corrective actions.Support process owners to perform transversal analysis (using sources like audit and inspection findings).Challenge the engineering strategies by reviewing the Engineering Management Plans (e.g. technical reviews, delivery plan).Ensure deployment of Critical Item Assessment (CIA) or Critical Technical Topic (CTT) activities during tender, project, and programs:Ensure that the CIA / CTT allow to define the relevant Design Review list and DFMEA (Design failure mode and effect analysis).Ensure the right DFMEA leaders and Design Review experts are selected.Ensure that Design Reviews, DFMEAs and their stakeholders are reflected in the project/program management plans.Ensure that Design Reviews (DR) and other technical reviews are efficiently held (during tender, project and program):Check quality status of Engineering deliverables (using AVVA, peer reviews, …) as valid inputs for the design reviews.Make sure that DR are prepared, involve the expected Quorum, and feed GR process.In RS activities, Chair Go concept and Go spec, with the expected Quorum, in order to feed tender process.Ensure applicable DR checklists are used and populated with evidences and associated actions, Person in charge (PIC), and due dates.Challenge conclusions and check consistency of the Design Review vs Project Risks.Ensure that DR report is released by Engineering Team, circulated and used to feed Development for Quality (DFQ) checklists.Follow action plan and updated Design Review status.Ensure DFMEAs activities deployment in each project:Assure the expected participation during DFMEA according to the related management plans.Ensure expected DFMEAs are performed before respective Preliminary Gate Review (PGR), and related actions implemented at Critical Gate Review (CGR).Control DFMEA action plan and Risk Priority Number (RPN) re-evaluation before relevant DFQ milestones (especially: Go Serial Review (GSR)).Manage

modifications with significant cost impact, open Kx in PST to launch analysis until REX.Make sure that Engineering team is included in Customer issues solving process (if needed).Contribute to transversal analysis of engineering issues, in which those detected during Customer surveys.Lead Improvements related to Return of Experience (REX):Lead local REX committee and propose return of experience to improve Engineering standards and processes.Convey local REX to improve Design Review checklists and/or DFQ checklists.Monitor recurrence in project execution with non-recurrence list.Contribute (for instance through DFQ NOGO analysis) to build Lean & Right First Time Engineering Processes (more preventive, less corrective).Performance measurementsQuality of engineering measured according to Alstom KPIs (BAM, Modifications impact/demerit, ESLI KPIs,…).Design review on time.Cost of Non-Quality (CONQ) with Engineering root cause.REX effectiveness (Recurrence of engineering issues,…).Educational Requirements & ExperienceMASTER degree in Engineering or equivalent.5 to 10 years of experience in managing Quality tools and problem-solving tools.Knowledge of railway industry (norms, certifications…) would be an asset.Management experience (if team management).Desirable: Coming from Engineering & be selected as potential successor for Site Engineering Director (SED) or direct subordinates of SED.Rigorous and able to deal with different projects and missions.
