• Establish and refine engineering standards, validation methods, documentation practices, and process controls.

• Own key system KPIs and proactively drive improvements through structured analysis and sustainable countermeasures.

• Serve as a subject matter expert in core technical domains, advising leadership and stakeholders on risk, feasibility, and long-term impact.

• Lead advanced root cause analysis and corrective action strategies across multi-functional systems.

• Support new product introductions, technology deployments, and process transformations with system-level readiness and validation oversight.

• Mentor Engineer 1 and Engineer 2 team members, elevating technical depth and structured problem-solving capability.

• Partner with global teams, suppliers, and stakeholders to align engineering solutions withlong-term strategy.

• Communicate technical direction, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to leadership.

• Remain adaptable to evolving priorities whilemaintainingaccountability for system performance and reliability.

Skills & Knowledge:

• Advanced knowledge of engineering principles within assigned discipline.

• Strong system-thinking capability - understands interactions across processes, tools, data, and people.

• Demonstrated ability to design scalable solutions beyond individual features.

• Proficiencyin advanced problem-solving methodologies (RCA, CAPA, FMEA, DOE, statistical analysis).

• Ability to influence engineering direction without direct authority.

• Experience driving standardization and engineering best practices.

• Strong analytical, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.

• Ability to balance short-term operational needs with long-term system optimization.

Behavioral Dimensions:

• System Ownership- Thinks beyond individual tasks, accountable for system performance and sustainability.

• Technical Influence- Shapes engineering decisions and standards across teams.
