Managed supplier qualification, risk analysis, and serial production readiness (APQP/PPAP) for high-impact electronics and electromechanical assemblies in the automotive sector. Key Achievements: • Supplier Turnaround: Successfully de-escalated critical core suppliers, driving a key supplier's VDA 6.3 audit rating from a C-rating (63 points) to an A-rating (92 points). • OEE Improvement: Collaborated with manufacturing partners to systematically increase production line OEE from 55% to 85%.

Led equipment qualifications and process validations (IQ/OQ/PQ) for high-reliability electronic assemblies in strict Aerospace, Defense, and MedTech environments. Key Achievements: • Driven a 15% increase in production yield and a 30% reduction in defect rates via rigorous process stabilization. • Ensured 100% compliance with strict traceability and documentation requirements for high-consequence products.
