Quality New Product Engineer

This role requires a strong technical background with a focus on New Product Development (NPD) and in-process quality within the automotive industry. Candidates must demonstrate robust knowledge across various technical domains and possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Minimum Mandatory Criteria:

Candidates must meet specific minimum scores in key technical areas to qualify, regardless of their overall score. A high overall score will not compensate for a major technical weakness.

• NPD Knowledge: minimum 7/15

• In-Process Knowledge: minimum 5/10

• Quality Knowledge: minimum 5/10

• Instrument Knowledge: minimum 5/10

• Drawing/GD&T: minimum 5/10

• Part Structure & Function: minimum 5/10

• Overall Score: preferably 65+

For example, a candidate with 90/100 due to excellent qualification and experience but only 2/15 in NPD should not automatically qualify.

Recruitment Process - Interview Scoring Sheet (Total 100 Marks):

• Qualification – 5 marks
