  • Lead electrical and controls support for FAT / SAT, equipment commissioning, production launches, and ramp-up
  • Provide hands-on troubleshooting to minimize downtime, scrap, and weld-related defects
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on OEE, FPY, defect reduction, and equipment reliability
  • Partner with maintenance teams to develop PM standards, troubleshooting guides, and training materials
  • Quality, Traceability & Data Systems

  • Support PFMEA, DFMEA (as applicable), Control Plans, and Cp / Cpk activities related to welding processes
  • Implement weld data collection, traceability, and MES integration tied to serial numbers
