- Develop manufacturing records, support test reports and build documentation to ensure traceability and repeatability.

- Support internal and external audits and drive corrective and preventive actions as needed.

- Collaborate with quality teams to ensure production meets defined quality and reliability requirements.

Production Environment & Operations:

- Establish and manage production infrastructure, including equipment selection, calibration, maintenance, and tooling procurement.

- Support production builds through quality control checks, non-conforming material handling, and troubleshooting.

- Support production planning, scheduling, and on-time delivery of assemblies.
