• Partner with Deposition product and program management to align and execute on priorities.
• Drive the OB response from supplier notification through closure. Gather replacement part data from suppliers, support supply chain design reviews, align alpha test plans with engineering, and manage OB details, plans, and strategy with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Collaborate with product and engineering management to ensure product-level adherence to global, industry, and customer-specific regulatory and compliance requirements. This includes managing design change projects, updating compliance documentation, and gathering and sharing information.
• Manage other projects that impact multiple product lines in the Deposition Product Group.
• Take ownership and accountability for the success of projects and cross-functional teams to ensure program schedules, performance metrics, and delivery meet business requirements on time and within budget.
