Overview

At Faraday Future, Travis began as a battery component engineer and progressively assumed broader responsibilities across requirements management, workflow automation, enterprise systems integration, data integrity, and configuration management.

The Challenge

Execution depended on how information moved across disconnected systems and teams: product definition, requirements, engineering release, procurement, inventory, manufacturing, vehicle build, and quality feedback.

Travis's Role

Global administrator and lead architect for Jama, configuration manager for battery, powertrain, and chassis organizations, and contributor to enterprise data integrity and workflow design.

What Travis Built

Requirements-management structures, automated workflows linking Jama, Jira, SharePoint, and Confluence, PLM to ERP to MES data-flow maps, and part-numbering specifications.

Lesson learned

Most enterprise problems are not caused by a lack of effort. They are caused by broken handoffs, unclear ownership, and systems that do not share a common definition of truth.
