- Plan, propose, and lead Design of Experiments (DOE) activities to produce timely and accurate analyses used to drive design, process development, and supply chain decisions.- Assess the suitability of a fabrication and/or assembly strategy or technology for a given part design. Plan validation exercises to demonstrate initial feasibility as well as manufacturing capability. Analyze results to provide technical recommendations.Supplier Execution:- Drive project technical and operational issues related to process, fixtures, equipment, etc. during NPI phase to enable delivery of a mature manufacturing process that achieves design compliance into Mass Production.- Assess supplier readiness to support build events and production ramp. Identify potential execution issues and provide recommendations for risk mitigation to management.- Drive production process improvements, including robotics and automation, to reduce labor and enhance quality.
