Partner with Engineering and Operations to finalize and confirm MBOM accuracy, ensuring alignment between design, configuration, and factory readiness.
Establish and track key NPI metrics (yield, cycle time, first-pass success, defect rates) to measure readiness and drive improvements.
Provide clear, consistent communication of build status, risks, and technical updates to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Collaborate with Quality teams to develop and validate test strategies, reliability plans, and qualification activities, ensuring compliance with internal standards, regulatory bodies, and customer certifications.
Support change management by coordinating ECOs, configuration control, and ensuring synchronization between design and production systems.
Drive design-for-manufacturability (DFM/DFA) by creating feedback loops between engineering and production teams.
Partner with global operations and suppliers to ensure capacity, material readiness, and logistics alignment for high-volume ramp.
