Drive resolution of existing manufacturing gaps and strengthen production stability by improving system, process, and operational effectiveness. Actively partner with NPI/NTI teams to identify and mitigate manufacturing ramp risks, with strong focus on Safety, Quality, and Process Control in alignment with Automotive IATF requirements, ensuring a robust and reliable transition to high‑volume manufacturing (HVM).

Key Responsibilities

1. Manufacturing HVM Enablement & Customer Readiness

• Own and drive resolution of existing manufacturing gaps across operations, MES, DM/IDM systems to ensure stable and controlled production execution with minimal disruption.
• Act as the central integration and escalation lead across Production, Equipment Engineering, and IT/MES to enable structured problem resolution and sustained system robustness.
• Partner with NPI / NTI teams from early stage to:
  • Identify and mitigate manufacturing ramp risks.
  • Ensure readiness aligned to Safety, Quality, and Process Control requirements.
  • Drive compliance with Automotive IATF standards prior to HVM.
  • Ensure controlled and risk‑free transition to High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) by embedding robust process, system, and operational controls.
  • Drive product and process knowledge capability across manufacturing teams to strengthen execution discipline and reduce ramp‑related risks.

2. Quality & Operational Excellence

• Own and lead Quality and Operational Excellence across manufacturing, ensuring full compliance with IATF 16949 and customer requirements, and always maintaining audit‑ready operations.
• Own and execute independent audit framework, ensuring:
  • Adherence to defined processes and standards
  • Timely and sustainable closure of identified gaps
• Lead and own reduction of human‑induced defects and excursions:
  • Establish structured improvement programs targeting operator‑driven variability
  • Drive data‑driven corrective and preventive actions
• Own customer audit readiness and response, ensuring:
  • Strong demonstration of process control, discipline, and compliance
  • Continuous improvement aligned with customer expectations
• Own and deploy Operational FMEA, ensuring:
  • Systematic identification and mitigation of operational risks
  • Full integration of FMEA outputs into production execution, controls, and MES workflows
• Own ESD Compliance at production floor.
• Strong problem‑solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to lead cross‑functional teams.
• Knowledge of MES and manufacturing systems integration.
• Strong focus on quality and continuous improvement.
