Key responsibilities include:

• 
  
  Leading the transition from product development into production
  
  
• 
  
  Developing manufacturing processes and assembly methodologies
  
  
• 
  
  Converting Engineering Bills of Materials into Manufacturing Bills of Materials
  
  
• 
  
  Driving DFM
  
  
• 
  
  Producing manufacturing documentation including SOPs, work instructions, PFMEAs and control plans
  
  
• 
  
  Designing efficient production layouts, material flow and assembly processes
  
  
• 
  
  Specifying tooling, fixtures and production equipment
  
  
• 
  
  Supporting capital equipment projects from concept through to commissioning
  
  
•
