The Opportunity
As Quality Team Manager, you will lead the Quality organization for a new Battery Pack Assembly facility from launch through steady-state production.

You will oversee incoming and supplier quality, lead quality activities for new model launches, and build a strong quality culture through the mentoring and development of plant personnel. Success in this role requires close partnership with plant leadership, cross-functional teams, Material Planning & Logistics (MP&L), and suppliers to drive customer satisfaction, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement.
The role will start remotely, with the expectation that the candidate will later transition to onsite work in Jeffersonville, Indiana. During construction, you may attend onsite meetings or work from a temporary onsite office.
