• Facilitate regular project reviews, status reporting, and communication to leadership and stakeholders.
• Identify risks early, implement mitigation strategies, and escalate appropriately.
• Ensure manufacturing readiness, process capability, yield targets, and stable ramp.
• Support cost analysis, BOM validation, PFMEA, control plans, and process qualification activities.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives across NPI methodologies, tooling readiness, and project governance.
• Champion structured problem solving and data‑driven decision making.
