• Define and track supplier quality KPIs (Yield, PPM, test escapes, reliability failures..)
• Conduct periodic business and quality reviews with key partners to align expectations and improvement.

Compliance & Audits

• Plan & conduct VDA6.3 process audit & IATF16949 system audits at test suppliers
• Ensure full compliance with AEC-Q100 reliability qualification and customer specific requirement.
• Support APQP/PPAP deliverables for new product and changes.

Issue Resolution & Problem Solving.

• Lead root cause analysis and CA/PA(8D) for test related issues (yield drops, reliability failure, test escapes, burn-in fallout)
• Ensure robust containment, root cause analysis, and permanent corrective actions (PCA) are implemented at suppliers.

New Process/Components Introduction

• Work with R&D and Technology & Operation Team to approve test spec, correlation study, control plans, reliability requirements, and FA report.
• Validate Supplier readiness for NPI and new component introduction, including hardware/software, burn-in boards, and correlation validation.
• Review Design for Test (DFT) implementation and production test coverage, including scan, ATPG, memory BIST, logic BIST, and boundary-scan/JTAG, to minimize test escapes and support robust series production.
• Define and review Burn-In and High-Voltage Stress (HVS) technical requirements, including stress conditions, hardware readiness, correlation, monitoring, failure criteria, and disposition of stressed units.
• Ensure robust change management (PCN/ECN) in line with automotive standards.

Continuous Improvement

• Drive suppliers towards zero-defect strategy, focusing on process capability (CP/CPK), test coverage improvement, automation.
• Reduce test escapes, reliability fallout, and field returns risks through proactive improvement actions.
• Benchmark and share best practices across the supply base to strengthen supplier competence.

Reporting & Documentation

• Maintain up-to-date audit records, PPAP packaging, reliability data, FA reports, and supplier dashboard.
• Provide regular management update and supplier quality status, risks and

improvement progress.
