This position will be responsible for developing and validating manufacturing strategies, driving Design for Manufacturability (DFM/DFX) activities, establishing BOM structures, tooling and test readiness, supporting pilot and managed builds, and ensuring commercialization deliverables are completed prior to HVM handoff. The role is critical to closing the current gap between product development and production execution, reducing program risk, improving manufacturing readiness, and enabling predictable product launches.
With multiple GRFO development programs progressing simultaneously, dedicated NPME resources are required to support manufacturing validation activities, cross-functional PDP execution, and structured transfer of fully industrialized products into operations. Approval of this position will strengthen the newly formed GRFO NPI team, improve NPI execution capacity, and accelerate delivery of new products while minimizing disruption to existing HVM operations.
