  • Develop and mature production processes, defining, specifying and building manufacturing and test equipment required for each new product line. 
  • Design and stand up manufacturing and testing facilities to support new product introduction. 
  • Collaborate with Facilities on near- and long-term facility requirements for manufacturing, including facility design, production flow, equipment requirements, and equipment maintenance plans. 
  • Build teams from the ground up, defining the near term organizational structure required to set the foundation, hiring, and developing talent across manufacturing and test disciplines. 
  • Establish culture, processes, and lasting best practices spanning manufacturing and test operations. 
  • Partner closely with Engineering to translate design and quality specifications into manufacturable, testable processes.
