Electrical Thermal Incident (ETI) Project Manager

Mission

As an Electrical Thermal Incident (ETI) Project Manager , you will be responsible for planning, managing, and delivering ETI assessments for new vehicle programs, new body styles ("top hats"), new powertrains, mid-cycle actions (MCA), and series production modifications. You will ensure compliance with the standard ETI process and support project teams in meeting all technical requirements and program milestones.

ETI assessments focus on identifying and mitigating thermal incident risks associated with electrical and electronic components, wiring harnesses, and their integration within the vehicle.

This position requires occasional short‑term travel within Europe.

Responsibilities

Design Phase
