• Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, Materials, and Production Control to support new product introductions, first-article builds, and ongoing production performance.
• Promote inter-departmental teamwork by communicating priorities, escalating constraints, and aligning on customer requirements and delivery commitments.
• Remain hands-on as needed—set up, troubleshoot, and run jobs to support schedule attainment while maintaining safety and quality standards.
