• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives that improved efficiency, cost, or production scalability.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and project management skills.
• Strong communication and leadership presence—capable of influencing both technical staff and executive leadership.

Must-Haves

• 10+ years in high-volume manufacturing engineering.
• Hands-on technical strength plus proven leadership of engineering teams.
