• Design for Manufacturability: Participate in new product design and development to ensure manufacturability and production efficiency.
• Assembly & Build Support: Support assembly and build of parts and subassemblies hands-on; develop and validate assembly processes, work instructions, and fixtures for repeatable production. Support new contract manufacturer and supplier bring-up.
• Supplier Collaboration: Support resolution of process-related issues across suppliers and maintain quality standards throughout production.
