You will lead through influence across GCM quality engineering and logistics owners who retain decision accountability and be the single point of ownership the customer looks to for regional execution and product-quality readiness at launch.

Key job responsibilities

A day in the life
You might open on the floor at a transition supplier walking an open defect list on an actuator assembly ahead of a phase gate. Midday a design revision lands and you work out what it costs in tooling qualification and build dates - then frame the tradeoffs for the owner who holds the the afternoon you run the operating review with the customers leadership where the question is which ramp risks need a decision this week.
