In this role, you will also be responsible for cost reduction through standardization of equipment and processes, establishing standards, and ensuring adherence to these standards. You will also be a focal point for new technology introductions, asset transfers, new process introductions; inclusive of lead time, technology selection and recommendations for fixturing, process, control plans, and qualifications of manufacturing assets. The GPEA will coach and influence a dotted-line organization, comprised of factory technical leads across the supply chain.

Critical to the role is leveraging analytical skills, the lean methodology and the guiding principle of creating process standards for equipment (“One Product One Process”) to drive SQDC in line with business and functional objectives. The candidate chosen for this position will acquire strong technical knowledge and extensive exposure to manufacturing, engineering, quality, and safe process development. The selected candidate plays a key role in the value stream, and in building a culture of inclusion and respect for people as well as continuous improvement.
