• Establish and maintain standardized processes, best practices and controls across production lines; champion scalable, repeatable solutions.
• Lead complex problem solving and continuous improvement activities (root cause analysis, corrective actions, Six Sigma methodologies).
• Integrate manufacturing considerations early into product and process decisions; represent manufacturing in design and program reviews.
• Mentor, develop and provide technical oversight to engineering teams; review and approve engineering deliverables, installation plans, and process documentation.
• Use data analytics, simulation and model-based approaches to validate processes, balance flow, and support capacity planning.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams (design, quality, supply chain, production, industrial engineering) and external partners to deliver on schedule and on budget.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite.
