  • Foster strong alignment across sites and cultures through transparent communication, shared goals, and effective remote collaboration practices.
  • Build and maintain relationships with contract manufacturers, suppliers, and external engineering partners in both regions.
  • Continuous Improvement and Systems Development

  • Institutionalize root cause analysis, failure analysis, and closed‑loop corrective action systems across products and sites.
  • Drive adoption of Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Reliability (DFR), and Design for Service (DFS) principles across both new and sustaining products.
  • Leverage lessons learned and field data to inform new product designs and strengthen system architecture for long‑term scalability.
  • Develop and standardize KPIs for reliability, serviceability, redesign cycle time, and product uptime.
