  • Provide hands-on leadership during prototype builds, pilot runs, and early production, solving cross-disciplinary quality issues and guiding teams through structured root cause analysis (8D, DMAIC).
  • Analyze process capability, SPC data, and system-level performance metrics to ensure stable ramp-up and long-term compliance.
  • Partner with supply chain and suppliers to ensure readiness for new programs, including supplier capability assessments, PPAP, and ongoing quality improvement.
