Serve as a CAM or provide CAM support, including control account planning, estimates, schedules, and performance assessments.
Analyze manufacturing data and develop recommendations to improve throughput, capacity utilization, cost, quality, productivity, and schedule performance.
Partner with cross-functional organizations to resolve manufacturing constraints, execution issues, and program risks.
Develop manufacturing strategies and implementation plans for program ramp-up, production scaling, and long-term capacity expansion.
Develop and maintain manufacturing metrics, dashboards, and performance indicators to support data-driven decision-making.
Lead or support Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints, and other continuous improvement initiatives.
Present manufacturing performance, capacity, risks, investment recommendations, and status updates to program and functional leadership.
Perform other relevant duties as assigned.

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills & Competencies)
