## About the role
Factory Operations & Capacity Planning: Develop production line capability, factory layouts, staffing plans, and capacity models to support product ramps, high-volume manufacturing, and repair operations.
Supplier Management & Production Risk Mitigation: Partner with suppliers, sourcing, NPI, and engineering teams to assess manufacturing capability, qualification, compliance, capacity, and sub-tier risks while driving corrective actions and supply continuity.
Manufacturing Process & Supplier Readiness: Develop, standardize, and optimize manufacturing and repair processes across global supplier sites, ensuring scalable production, yield improvement, capacity readiness, and continuous operational excellence.
Quality Systems & Process Control: Implement SPC, automation, AI-driven analytics, vision systems, and digital monitoring solutions to improve quality, reduce variability, detect defects early, and enable predictive quality management.
Root Cause Analysis & Continuous Improvement: Lead structured problem-solving efforts (8D, Fishbone, PFMEA, DFMEA, Six Sigma) to identify, resolve, and prevent recurring manufacturing, design, and repair issues.
AI, Automation & Predictive Maintenance: Drive adoption of AI/ML, IoT, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance technologies to improve equipment reliability, operational efficiency, and factory visibility.
Product Industrialization & Design for Manufacturing: Collaborate with design, NPI, quality, and supplier teams to ensure products, packaging, and processes meet manufacturability, automation, reliability, serviceability, and sustainability requirements.
Technical Validation & Risk Management: Lead qualification strategies, NUDD assessments, engineering changes, simulations, tolerance analysis, and failure-mode evaluations to proactively identify and mitigate technical, schedule, tooling, and capacity risks.
Program Execution & Technology Roadmaps: Influence suppliers to invest in new technologies, align with long-term product strategies, support new product introductions, and drive successful project execution from development through mass production.
Metrics, Governance & Business Reviews: Establish dashboards and reporting mechanisms to monitor supplier performance, quality, compliance, operational efficiency, and provide manufacturing insights for executive reviews and QBRs.
