• Develop manufacturing processes that meet product requirements, cost targets, and capacity needs.
• Perform DFA, DFMA, DFSS, tolerance stack-up, and risk analyses to optimize designs and reduce manufacturing risk.
• Identify process improvement opportunities for existing manufacturing operations and implement solutions that improve efficiency, quality, and throughput.
• Develop and implement risk mitigation plans for assembly processes and ensure process robustness.

• Serve as a subject matter expert in DFMA, assembly engineering, and advanced manufacturing processes.
• Provide technical leadership for cross-functional project teams and lead technical process reviews.
• Guide design teams on best practices for manufacturability, assembly, and process capability.
• Present technical data, recommendations, and project updates clearly to stakeholders across multiple levels of the organization.

• Support verification and validation activities for product commercialization, including protocol development, execution, data analysis, and reporting.
• Assist in development of product and process documentation, including design control documentation, process specifications, and inspection/test procedures.
• Ensure all activities comply with applicable quality systems, GMP requirements, and regulatory standards.
• Follow all safety policies, procedures, and site-specific requirements.

• Support all technical activities related to new product launch, including:
  • Manufacturing process conceptualization and development
  • Tooling and equipment development
  • Vendor identification and support
  • Make-versus-buy analysis
  • Site selection support
  • Capital equipment planning
