About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Support New Product Introduction (NPI) through FATP development builds, ramp-up, mass production, and steady state expansion efforts
Serve as the bridge between Design, Engineering, and Operations, translating complex technical risks into actionable business decisions to drive Oura’s quality initiatives
Analyze build failure data to identify design and process marginalities, ensuring that yield loss is understood from a quality risk perspective, not just a volume perspective
Lead build readiness reviews, focusing on quality deliverables such as equipment readiness, process qualification, and post-build quality data analysis to understand system level interactions and assembly tolerance stackups that drive design and process improvements
Establish and enforce the standard for “premium” quality by defining cosmetic specifications, managing golden/limit samples, and aligning design, engineering, and factory teams on subjective criteria (fit, finish, and feel) early in the NPI process.
Identify and effectively communicate design and process risks, using data-driven approaches to facilitate discussions and improvements across Oura teams and suppliers
Analyze and evaluate data to establish appropriate sub-assembly / system level spec limits including cosmetic, dimensional, functional/reliability as well as establish process controls limits
Validate that CM processes produce units that meet cosmetic, reliability, and functional design intent.
