Responsibilities

Own manufacturing process execution, capability, and production readiness for assigned manufacturing areas, processes, products, or components
Translate product manufacturing strategy, process intent, and technical requirements provided by Lifecycle Manufacturing Engineering into capable, repeatable, and scalable production processes
Develop, implement, qualify, and continuously improve manufacturing processes across additive manufacturing, machining, assembly, inspection, post-processing, or related advanced manufacturing operations
Lead process implementation and production-readiness activities from NPI transfer through sustained production and rate ramp
Partner with Lifecycle Manufacturing Engineering to ensure manufacturing requirements, product characteristics, process intent, and technical risks are properly translated into site-level manufacturing controls
Lead development and maintenance of manufacturing Process Flow Diagrams, PFMEAs, Control Plans, work instructions, standard work, routings, and other production process documentation
Ensure critical and key product characteristics are appropriately created, controlled, measured, and verified within the manufacturing process
Lead manufacturing process qualification, capability studies, and production validation activities prior to release into sustained production
Provide direct technical support to Operations for manufacturing issues affecting safety, quality, delivery, cost, yield, or throughput
Own implementation of engineering and configuration changes at the manufacturing site, including updates to tooling, programming, routings, work instructions, inspection requirements, qualification activities, and operator training
Monitor and improve site manufacturing performance including first-pass yield, scrap, rework, cycle time, takt attainment, throughput, process capability, and equipment effectiveness
Support low-rate initial production and production ramp activities while ensuring manufacturing processes transition into stable, controlled, and sustainable production systems
Serve as the site manufacturing engineering representative on Manufacturing Program Teams, production-readiness reviews, and other cross-functional manufacturing forums
Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, quality, delivery, cost, process capability, throughput, and manufacturing scalability
