- Establish program metrics, KPIs, and reporting mechanisms to provide leadership visibility into deployment health, team capacity, and NRE milestone progress.
- Partner with field teams to capture deployment learnings and drive them back into engineering requirements, process improvements, and updated standard work documentation.
- Coordinate vendor and contractor engagements for outsourced tooling/fixture development, managing SOWs, timelines, and deliverable quality.
