- Strong capability in root cause analysis and complex problem-solving within a technical environment.

- Effective communication and interpersonal skills required to collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams in an interactive, global environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience in manufacturing and process improvements to drive cost-down and lead-time improvements.

- Knowledge of PLM processes and experience with the Agile PDM system.

- Strong verbal and written English communication skills.

- Efficient organizational and multi-tasking abilities to manage multiple high-priority projects simultaneously.
