  • Hands-on experience with structured problem solving (8D, root cause analysis) in a production environment

  • Solid knowledge of DFx principles and the interface between design and manufacturing

  • Ability to interpret technical drawings, GD&T, and manufacturing tolerances in high-precision applications

  • Strong technical communication skills, with the ability to influence engineering and supplier stakeholders globally

  • Ability to operate independently in a matrixed, cross-functional environment



What sets you apart



  • Knowledge of Applied Operational and Engineering Statistical Methods

  • FMEA include Design FMEA (DFMEA) and Process FMEA (PFMEA)
