The role includes supporting new equipment setup and automation initiatives, participating in concurrent process development, and providing technical leadership for continuous improvement efforts. Collaboration with Finance, Engineering, Quality, Customer Service, and Structuring is essential to resolve production issues, manage costs, and support future manufacturing requirements.
