Own the Quality Lifecycle: Lead the development and execution of the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) for all electronics assemblies, ensuring suppliers meet rigorous standards for PCBA, SMT, and complex box builds
Architect Manufacturing Standards: Determine the methods, procedures, and evaluation criteria for new electronics programs, leading the formulation of top-level assembly (TLA) processes that align with Form Energy’s long-term scaling targets
Lead Complex Resolutions: Act as the primary technical leader to resolve high-impact production issues, networking with key contacts across Design, Reliability, and Test teams to implement systemic corrective actions (CAPA)
Drive Strategic Accountability: Model initiative by deliberately removing blocks in the supply chain; you will supervise and mentor supplier resources to ensure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and yield outcomes exceed organizational targets
Guide Early-Stage Design: Influence the technology roadmap by embedding advanced Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM/A) principles into early-stage designs, ensuring seamless transitions from prototype to mass production
Global Quality Leadership: Manage domestic and international supplier relationships through deep technical audits and source inspections, traveling (20%) to ensure process stability and compliance at the factory floor
