- Coordinate and align Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Production, and Logistics priorities
- Drive operational performance, delivery execution, and production efficiency
- Support the development and structuring of teams and processes as the site grows
- Ensure compliance with customer requirements, engineering standards, and internal procedures
- Monitor operational KPIs (delivery, productivity, defects, rework, FPY, etc.) and drive continuous improvement initiatives
- Identify operational risks, escalate critical issues, and ensure timely resolution
- Lead root cause analysis activities and corrective action implementation
- Promote strong accountability, communication, and teamwork across all departments
- Collaborate closely with customers, internal leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders
- Support workforce planning, operational organization, and resource allocation
