• Identify chronic issues and recommend corrective actions
• Ensure accurate documentation for incoming manufacturing/products
• Create manufacturing improvement corrective action plans and solutions
• Provide inputs about equipment maintenance requirements and shortfalls
• Identify when engineering support is required to address significant production platform/process/specification issues or changes
• Work with production techs to drive equipment/manufacturing standardization and continuous improvements
• Interface with production resources in other sections to drive consistency and share best practices
• Interface with Engineering, Facilities, IT and Development organizations
• Work with Operations team to include section supervision, shift supervision, and associates as required to ensure teams understand new manufacturing processes/products
• Provide technical documentation for experiments conducted, changes made, and lessons learned as a result of above responsibilities.
• Train operational organizations on new manufacturing processes, products, or changes to established manufacturing processes and products.
