  • Implement process monitoring, SPC, and industry 4.0 tools.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Production, Quality, Program Management, Supply Chain, and SMT departments.
  • Provide engineering support during customer audits, FAIs, PFMEAs, and technical reviews.
  • Partner with external suppliers on polymerics, tooling, fixtures, materials, and new process technologies.
