• Define and validate scalable manufacturing processes, yield targets, and industrial robustness

External Manufacturing Partner Strategy and Management

• Identify, evaluate, and shortlist partners in close collaboration with the Purchasing Team and External Manufacturing Team
• Execute structured supplier selection and qualification processes covering technical capability, cost, quality, and scalability
• Act as the primary interface to manufacturing partners during development, ramp-up, and volume production
• Steer and challenge partners on manufacturability, quality, process maturity, yields, and cost performance

Cost & Design Optimization

• Drive Design for Manufacturing (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA) feedback into internal development
• Contribute to cost optimization on design and process level, including material choices, automation potential, and yield improvements
• Support validation of cost models using supplier data and manufacturing inputs

Cross-Functional Interface

• Lead collaboration across Engineering, Quality, Purchasing, and Project Management
• Ensure transparent feedback loops between design, industrialization, and manufacturing
• Support decision-making through structured assessments of feasibility, cost, and risk
