  • Lead new line and new site bring-up at CM/ODM partners, from process validation and capacity verification through pilot builds and release to mass production.
  • Specify, source, and validate tooling, fixtures, and test equipment.
  • Own first-pass yield, cycle time, and process capability in production; run SPC, analyze failure and rework data, and drive corrective actions with manufacturing partners.
  • Provide design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test feedback during product development and represent manufacturing in pilot build reviews.
  • Qualify process changes and engineering changes on the line, including PFMEA updates, control plan revisions, and operator training, before changes are cut in.
