• Coordinate and support pre-production builds and product launch events
• Lead and participate in cross-functional meetings related to product development and manufacturing concerns
• Develop and maintain process flows, PFMEAs, control plans, and RPN reduction activities
• Create and maintain standard work and work instructions, incorporating supervisor and operator input
• Manage manufacturing programs from launch through steady-state production
• Track equipment status and resolve open issues related to tooling and assembly equipment
• Verify processes align with approved flow charts and process layouts
• Develop, complete, and verify preventative maintenance instructions for assembly equipment
• Lead launch review meetings and support packaging development, testing, and approval
• Investigate engineering change feasibility and support implementation
• Work cross-functionally to ensure quality, on-time product delivery
• Follow ISO 14001 and TS 16949 requirements

• Strong communication skills, including the ability to present in meetings and cross-functional settings
• Proficiency with Windows-based systems
• Knowledge of mechanical engineering principles, GD&T, and manufacturing processes
• Experience with 2D and 3D CAD preferred (not required)
• Excellent time management, organization, and teamwork skills
