To drive new product development efforts by working with design/ production and supplier stakeholders to enable high reliability and high-quality performance of the product.Our philosophy:
Break. Believe. Build
Break stuff. Break assumptions. Break the thumb rule.Believe in the team. Believe in the process. Believe through failures.Build fast. Build passionately. Build to simplify.
- Align the new product development process with APQP objectives and identify appropriate controls and monitoring points
- Development of Quality and Reliability data pipelines in the new product development
- Initiate and drive Reliability controlling and monitoring efforts for all new product development activities
- Detail quality and reliability goals and create continuous monitoring processes
- Drive Requirement analysis, DFMEA, and Design validation activities for electronics and mechanical components
- Bring in clarity and alignment on reliability objectives and approach among all the product development stakeholders
- Define risk and risk mitigation plans by using first principles in calculations, testing, and prototyping
- Maintain documented output from new product development activities to support downstream activities like supplier development, production, and customer integration
- Develop and practice a failure analysis, recording, and investigation approach required for product development
- Connect Reliability, Test Capability, and Field performance characteristics to enable the team to measure the product capabilities on quality and reliability
- Initiate data collection, analysis, and management processes to enable quality/ reliability supporting decision-making ability
