  • Collaborating on Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (P-FMEA) and validating prototypes,
  • Requesting tooling as needed and writing detailed tooling specifications,
  • Ensuring optimal EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) and ergonomic conditions,
  • Performing task sequencing for workstations and calculating accurate method times,
  • Industrializing retrofit processes following engineering changes to include routings, work instructions, and tooling,
  • Leading continuous process improvement initiatives,
  • Acting as a champion for Alstom Performance System (APSYS),
  • Developing and managing ERP routings and work/inspection instructions.
