  • Oversee production readiness, factory builds, and quality performance metrics, driving continuous improvement in yield, cost, and reliability
  • Ensure strong change management discipline and documentation compliance across all hardware programs in NPI and sustaining phases
  • Collaborate with Finance, Business Systems, and Supply Chain partners to improve factory operations tools, processes, and reporting infrastructure
  • Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing global team that operates with clarity, accountability, and collaboration across functions and regions

Requirements:
