Responsibilities

• Design, specify, and implement advanced tooling and equipment to scale new manufacturing technologies from pilot to shop-floor reality.
• Own the development and refinement of manufacturing workflows. Use Lean methodologies (Value Stream Mapping, Root Cause Analysis) to diagnose process inefficiencies and implement sustainable, data-backed improvements.
• Leverage data-driven insights and Industry 4.0 solutions to monitor and optimize process performance.
• Support the technical implementation of automation, robotics, and complex process solutions.
• Deploy global process standards, control plans, and training modules to ensure consistency across the global supply chain.
• Work on highly matrixed programs between R&D, Engineering, and Operations to execute complex technical roadmaps and change management initiatives.
