Three decades inside automotive engineering — the pedigree behind everything Prometheus does, offered to OEMs and non-competing programs that need seasoned, hands-on judgment.
Three decades inside automotive engineering — the pedigree behind everything Prometheus does, offered to OEMs and non-competing programs that need seasoned, hands-on judgment.
Christian Ross spent three decades inside the automotive engineering world — at General Motors, Delphi, and Nexteer — developing electric power steering, braking, propulsion, and sensing systems from concept to full-rate production. Few engineers have carried that many complex electromechanical systems the full distance, and fewer still have done it at automotive volume and reliability.
He was selected as a General Motors Fellow, holds more than 20 patents, and has led organizations of over 100 engineers against budgets of $30M+. That is the pedigree behind everything Prometheus does — the depth in motors, power electronics, embedded software, magnetics, and sensing that transfers to any demanding program.
Prometheus offers that experience to OEMs and to non-competing automotive programs — electronics, mechatronics, motors, sensors, launch, supplier quality, and engineering leadership. Engagements are structured to respect all prior professional obligations; this page is about capability and pedigree, not the solicitation of any prior employer's competitors.
Concept-to-production development of motors, power electronics, embedded software, sensing, and controls — complex electromechanical systems built to automotive standards.
Getting a program from prototype to production: milestone discipline, gate readiness, and the cross-functional alignment that keeps a launch on its date.
Sitting between engineering, suppliers, purchasing, and manufacturing to find what's really happening — and driving a struggling supplier back to health before launch slips.
Validation planning, DV/PV, and reliability engineering grounded in IATF 16949 and ISO 26262 practices — proving a system survives the field and the ramp.
Organization design and development-process definition proven leading 100+ engineer teams — the structure and workflow that let engineering deliver at scale.
Structured problem-solving for the field and manufacturing failures a team can't resolve — root cause found and corrective action that makes it stay fixed.
Concept-to-volume industrialization judgment — validation, DFM, and the manufacturing discipline that carries a system across the line to full-rate production.
Launch ReadinessSomeone who can sit between your engineers and the supplier, find what's really happening, and drive recovery to resolution before the date moves again.
Supplier RecoveryInterim engineering-executive leadership from a General Motors Fellow: organization design, development process, and the go/no-go calls that shape a program.
