  • Deep technical experience in supply chain and manufacturing operations (including non-conformance cost reduction initiatives, etc.) in a medical device, automotive, or related industry with deep compliance requirements
  • Demonstrated track record of a self-starter mindset, operating independently on multiple priorities with minimal oversight.
