Tooling & Equipment: Design, build, and validate production tooling, jigs, and fixtures, including defining requirements, tolerances, and usability for operators. 

R&D Collaboration (DfM): Partner closely with R&D engineering teams during product development to improve our products with Design for Manufacturing (DfM) principles, including assisting with prototyping. 

Workshop Ownership: Organise, support, and maintain the electronics/mechanical workshop, taking responsibility for equipment availability, workplace organisation, safety, and consumables. 

Continuous Improvement: Lead root-cause investigations for structural production or quality issues and proactively implement continuous improvement practices to eliminate bottlenecks. 

Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate effectively with mechanical, electrical, software, and operations disciplines, ensuring manufacturing decisions align with overall product and business objectives.
