This role drives technical excellence, safety regulatory compliance (FMVSS/NCAP/IIHS), quality, cost targets, and team development from initial concept feasibility through launch and current model support.

The NA Restraints Applications Supervisor is a key leadership role within Product Development, directly overseeing the North American engineering team dedicated to passive safety occupant protection systems. In this role, you will be responsible for leading a team of engineers in the design, development, packaging, validation, and execution of restraint application systems across multiple vehicle platforms (ICE, Hybrid, and BEV).

You will act as the primary engineering lead for NA Restraints Applications,



working cross-functionally with Safety Integration, Vehicle Crash, Body Interior, Restraints Electronics, Manufacturing (VOME), Purchasing, Quality, and Tier 1/2 Suppliers. You will ensure all restraint subsystems meet stringent System Design Specifications (SDS), crashworthiness requirements, government safety standards (e.g., FMVSS), and customer rating expectations (US NCAP, IIHS) while balancing weight, cost (TVM), complexity, and craftsmanship.

As an LL6 leader, you will foster an environment of continuous technical growth, coaching team members, streamlining engineering processes, driving 6-Sigma quality practices, and leading rapid root-cause resolution during vehicle launches and current model operations.
