Program/Project Management Lead

• Steer DFx closure for the programme: ensure pre-DFM and pre-DFA run before release and that every finding is routed, owned and closed.

• Write and maintain the manufacturing scope of the Programme SOW, and keep it current through change.

• Sign manufacturing readiness before each build, naming open items with an owner and a date rather than signing around them.

• Raise Process Development Requests when the design needs capability the site does not have, and track them to a committed date.

• Own the manufacturing content of the phase gate package and present it at the gate.

• Drive yield recovery, defect attribution and open-item burn-down on early builds with the TRL and the site.

• Maintain the manufacturing risk register for the programme and close severe risks before DVT exit.

• Assess manufacturability at POC and pre-EVT, and challenge design rules rather than accepting them as fixed.

• Provide manufacturing cost, NRE and fixture input into the quotation before acceptance.

• Own the manufacturing dimension of the NPI RYG status for the programme.
