Work directly with manufacturing teams and suppliers to resolve component, assembly, and production issues.
Partner with Procurement and R&D on component substitutions and standardization.
Own the transition of new products from R&D into manufacturing.
Design and develop assembly processes, fixtures, tooling, work instructions, control plans, PFMEAs, FAI requirements, and production documentation.
Ensure BOMs and other production-readiness requirements are completed before launch.

As needed, assist with product documentation, specifications, certifications, and regulatory requirements.
