• Assemble and lead cross‑functional teams to contain suspect product, assess field exposure, implement systemic solutions, and manage change control.
• Use advanced problem‑solving methodologies such as MEE and Kepner‑Tregoe Analysis (KT) to identify causes and reduce risk.
• Document and communicate risks, including failure probability, customer impact, escalation plans, and recommended actions.
• Identify gaps between product design and technical requirements; oversee improvement implementation and execute roadmap initiatives.
