  • Ensure rapid response, troubleshooting support for manufacturing test systems.
  • Set departmental goals, priorities, and operating procedures aligned with manufacturing and test engineering goals.
  • Allocate resources and coordinate work assignments to balance production support, project work, and site priorities.
  • Guide standardization of test processes and promote knowledge sharing across manufacturing sites and NPI teams.
  • Partner with manufacturing, engineering, quality, maintenance, supply chain, finance, and plant leadership teams.
  • Analyze test performance data to identify root causes, implement corrective actions, and prevent issue recurrence.
  • Give feedback on test equipment, software, standards, documentation, and process improvements.
  • Collaborate with NPI and Engineering teams to ensure equipment qualification and acceptance requirements are met before production release.
  • Lead continuous improvement projects focused on error proofing, ergonomics, yield, capacity, cycle time, and equipment reliability.
  • Communicate project status, production risks, and recovery plans to partners and leadership.
  • Ensure compliance with company policies, procedures, and standards of business conduct.
  • Support Lean manufacturing projects and foster a culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
