• Provide analytical input to PFMEA, control plan, and validation activities owned by Quality and Manufacturing Engineering.
• Develop and maintain dashboards and reports summarizing capability data, NPI status, and ROI tracking for management and PMO review.
• Support Continuous Improvement (CI) and Lean initiatives through data-driven prioritization and engineering insight.
• Standardize documentation related to NPI and industrialization deliverables to ensure alignment and traceability.
