·      Identify single points of failure within the EMS manufacturing process.

·      Establish backup strategies for critical production equipment, tooling, and process dependencies.

·      Ensure availability of critical spares and backup arrangements to minimize production disruptions.

Manufacturing & Assembly Process Compliance

·      Ensure manufacturing and assembly processes meet IRP’s technical, quality, reliability, and production requirements.

·      Maintain and update manufacturing process requirements, specifications, work instructions, and technical documentation.

·      Work closely with EMS partners to ensure adherence to approved processes and manufacturing standards.

·      Support process audits, technical reviews, change management, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Project Management & Cross-Functional Coordination

·      Own project planning, execution, tracking, risk management, and closure for assigned technical manufacturing projects.

·      Establish milestones, deliverables, timelines, dependencies, and success criteria.

·      Coordinate engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, procurement, EMS partners, and global stakeholders.

·      Provide regular project status updates, risk assessments, escalation points, and management reports.

What We Are Looking For

Must-Have Experience

·      Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

·      Proven experience in technical project management within an EMS / Electronics Manufacturing Services environment.

·      Strong technical understanding of electronics manufacturing and assembly processes.

·      Experience with a state-of-the-art EMS company, preferably in high-mix, high-complexity, or automotive-grade manufacturing.

·      Experience managing manufacturing capacity expansion, equipment deployment, CAPEX, or production readiness projects.

·      Strong project planning, execution, tracking, and stakeholder management skills.

·      Experience working in a global or matrix organization.

Technical & Industry Knowledge

·      Good understanding of EMS manufacturing processes, electronics assembly, production line setup, process validation, and manufacturing readiness.

·      Familiarity with automotive and/or aerospace manufacturing standards and quality requirements.

·      Understanding of process compliance, technical documentation, change management, and manufacturing controls.

·      Experience with contingency planning, critical spares, equipment backup, and manufacturing business continuity.

Communication & Leadership Skills

·      Excellent communication and presentation skills.

·      Ability to present project status, risks, investment requirements, and recommendations to senior management.

·      Strong coordination and influencing skills across internal teams, EMS partners, and global stakeholders.

·      Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment.

The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here

·      You are a technical project owner, not just a coordinator.

·      You understand how manufacturing works and can challenge technical decisions when required.

·      You anticipate risks before they become production disruptions.

·      You can move between strategic planning and detailed execution.

·      You take ownership of timelines, deliverables, and outcomes.
