Responsibilities

Lead NPI/tech‑transfer projects from late design through commercial launch, coordinating R&D, Quality/Regulatory, Operations, and external CMOs/suppliers to meet development timelines and readiness gates.
Define manufacturing strategy (make/buy, site selection) and equipment/process requirements; support vendor selection, and manage FAT/SAT for new equipment through site acceptance and release.

Design and run structured process characterization (screening/optimization DOEs) to identify CTQs, establish control limits, and deliver capability, yield, and throughput targets.
Develop, release, and maintain manufacturing documentation for transfer: process flow, PFMEA, control plan, work instructions, job aids, line layouts, routings/BOMs, and training materials.
Own transfer readiness: plan engineering/pilot/PPQ builds, execute line trials, support ramp, and drive disciplined change control to closure.
Lead investigations and disposition of development/transfer NCRs; generate effective CAPAs using root‑cause tools (e.g., 5‑Why, Fishbone, FMEA linkage) and verify effectiveness before launch.
Implement MSA (gage R&R) and SPC; define data collection and dashboards; monitor early production performance and execute handoff to sustaining engineering.
Partner with suppliers/CMOs to qualify new materials, tooling, and equipment; confirm capacity/capability, process controls, and incoming inspection plans; maintain supplier quality agreements.
Translate design intent into robust, scalable processes via DFM; challenge tolerances/specs and influence design to improve manufacturability, yield, and COGS.
Prepare and present phase‑/gate‑deliverables and technical reviews; ensure complete, audit‑ready DHF/DMR inputs and objective evidence.
Ensure EHS readiness for new equipment/processes (risk assessments, ergonomics, machine guarding, LOTO) and verify resources are available and in safe working condition.
Forecast and manage project schedules, budgets, and capital; create and execute equipment qualification plans, and coordinate installation.
Provide hands‑on technical leadership and mentorship for junior engineers/technicians; may directly supervise personnel as business needs require.
Communicate risks, dependencies, and decision tradeoffs proactively; maintain a visible risk register with mitigation/contingency plans and escalate early.
