• Ensure robust weld quality for sealed, functional, and cosmetic-critical components.
• Conduct process validation and documentation (APQP, PFMEA, Control Plan, PPAP).
• Troubleshoot production issues related to weld strength, leakage, cosmetic defects, warpage, and particulate contamination.
• Collaborate with design, tooling, automation, quality, and supplier teams to ensure DFM and DFA compliance.
• Support automation integration, inline inspection (vision, leak testing), and cycle time optimization.
• Ensure adherence to IATF 16949, ISO 9001.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives for yield, cost, and process capability (Cp/Cpk).
• Ensure compliance with laser safety, EHS, and internal manufacturing standards.
• Support internal and external audits and customer technical reviews
