Operational Excellence & Process Improvement
  • Drive scalable engineering workflows and implement best practices across all locations.
  • Improve standardization in design processes, documentation, and testing methods.
  • Partner with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, project management, and production to enhance design for manufacturability and reduce rework.
  • Manage engineering project schedules, budgets, and resource allocation.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Represent engineering in customer engagements and support strategic customer initiatives.
  • Work closely with business development to address customer needs and drive product reliability and satisfaction.
