What You Will Do:
1. Strategic Leadership: Direct a cross-functional team of manufacturing and process engineers to design and industrialise new electronic products, from initial design concept (RFQ) through to full production handover.
2. Lifecycle Management: Lead products through formal stage-gate processes (e.g., AS9145, APQP) from initial bid and concept to production handover.
3. Design for Excellence (DfX): Champion Design for Manufacturability (DfM), Testability (DfT), and Cost (DfC) to ensure designs are robust and cost-effective.
4. Risk Mitigation: Manage Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRL) and conduct Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify and resolve production risks early.
5. Supply Chain Integration: Collaborate with procurement and external suppliers to ensure component availability and manufacturing capability.
6. Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify and resolve technical or supply chain risks using PFMEA and root-cause analysis (RCCA).
7. Technical Reporting: Establish project baselines for cost, schedule, and quality, providing regular updates to senior leadership and customers.
8. Cost & Schedule Control: Establish and monitor project baselines for cost, schedule...
