About this job

General Description

Electrical Program Co-Ordinator is an individual contributor role responsible for leading cross functional execution of automotive electronics programs. The role focuses on coordination, tracking, RFQ support, supplier and purchasing interface, cost and timing alignment, and execution readiness from concept through SOP. This role does not perform hands on electronics design, but leverages an EE background to manage dependencies, risks, and decisions across engineering, program management, purchasing, validation, manufacturing, and global teams. Owns program execution and decision alignment for electronics while electrical design ownership remains with the hardware and system engineers.

Primary Roles & Responsibilities:

• Prepare EE timeline for deliverables and lead electronics execution within the Program Cross Functional Team (CFT).

• Own tracking and coordination of electronics scope, cost, timing, and risks across programs.

• Lead coordination of electronics content for RFQs, including engineering assumptions, cost inputs, supplier alignment, and risk documentation.

• Track supplier quotations, quotes, and engineering changes impacting cost and timing.

• Lead electronics VAVE activities, including identification of opportunities, alignment with stakeholders, validation impact assessment, tracking from execution to closure.

• Prepare and maintain master electronics timing plans and ensure milestone adherence.

• Identify, track, escalate, and drive closure of execution risks and issues.

• Ensure electrical design maturity and readiness prior to release to prototype and build-to-print manufacturing suppliers, including alignment on deliverables, validation scope, and revision control.

• Coordinate DV/PV planning and execution readiness including parts, lab quotes, suppliers, and validation teams.

• Interface with OEM customers as electronics integration focal point.

• Coordinate globally with plants and engineering teams (TN, Brazil, global EE teams).
