Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Procurement, Engineering, and Operations to ensure all building products meet technical specifications during volume ramps and resolve systemic process breakdowns or design-to-build conflicts.
Performance Tracking: Define and track key KPIs for product quality, including defect rates and non-conformance rates, presenting data-driven insights and risk assessments to senior leadership.
Continuous Improvement: Promote a site-wide culture of quality by leading Non-Conformance (NC) activities and providing technical training to employees on process improvement and quality matters.
Risk Mitigation: Conduct quality assessments for critical build phases and develop contingency strategies for quality-related disruptions to the modular data center product line delivery schedule.
