  • Provide feedback and recommendations to the manufacturing engineers for improvements to manufacturing work instructions, assembly and test fixtures and processes.
  • Drive 5s and lean activities to improve the manufacturing processes and overall production efficiency.
  • Work with Engineering, Systems and Manufacturing Engineering teams to incorporate improvements into the manufacturing process based on testing results and observations
  • Participate in process FMEAs and risk identification as well as assisting with the implementation of appropriate countermeasures.
  • Assist Manufacturing Engineering in the setup and validation of new equipment for use in the assembly process.
