About the role
- Turn bold Easyplant product visions into world‑class, scalable manufacturing that delivers flawless quality, lower cost, and continuous improvement.
- Own the Easyplant manufacturing flow end-to-end across global partners: onboard new sites, keep daily execution tight, build trusted factory relationships, and travel up to 40% to keep lines running smoothly.
- Cultivate strong, long‑term relationships with manufacturing partners and key suppliers to align priorities, accelerate problem-solving, and unlock joint improvements.
- Improve quality by setting clear supplier standards, preventing common mistakes, and fixing issues quickly—from first signal to verified fix.
- Build and improve the tools: design and make jigs, fixtures, gauges, and simple test rigs; introduce light automation where it clearly pays off.
- Launch new products and categories from lab/prototype to pilot and stable production—standing up lines, managing first builds, and smoothing the ramp.
- Turn data into action and lower COGS: set clear plans, track yield/defects/cycle time in simple dashboards, drive design and process tweaks, and partner with Engineering, Product, and Supply Chain to balance speed, cost, and customer experience.
