- Launch Execution: Oversee and manage various launch activities, including gate reviews, clear-to-builds, change control, part trials, prove run-at-rate during burst builds, equipment validation, design quality reviews (including harmony and AAR, Appearance Approval Reviews), commissioning automation, diagnosing, and debugging EOL issues
- Mass Production Scaling: Ramp up mass production to meet aggressive schedules, ensuring high reliability, repeatability, and robustness
- Production Change Approval: Review and approve design engineering changes and their compatibility with manufacturing systems
- Part Trials and KPI Management: Manage part trials, ensure compliance to PPAP metrics, and track success in areas like safety, quality, and production targets
- Bachelor's degree in Plastics Engineering, Materials engineering or other related field
- 2K plastics or 2 Shot molding experience preferred
- Strong understanding of Scientific Injection molding process
- Understanding of Injection Mold building is required
- Ability to communicate cross-functionally throughout the organization
