• Provide leadership for technical issue resolution, including NCs, CAPAs, yield loss, and early production challenges.
• Engage suppliers and Contract Manufacturers to support development, qualification, and manufacturing transfer.
• Ensure completion and compliance of manufacturing documentation (work instructions, BOMs, routings, PFMEAs, control plans).
