  • Lead regional and supplier transitions scoping packaging changes, coordinating material localization and capability ramp, and ensuring transitions meet quality, schedule, and cost targets
  • Manage risk and executional agility by identifying issues early, framing options with clear impact on schedule/cost/quality, and making principled recommendations that keep programs moving under tight timelines
  • Standardize and improve packaging operations by developing reusable tools, templates, SOPs, and checklists for builds, reporting, and supplier/CM engagement
  • Model Hardware Operating Principles in daily work (e.g., acting with urgency, valuing program speed and efficiency, bringing deep expertise, taking principled risks, and being transparent and straightforward) and help reinforce them across partners and programs
