Strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing (wafer fab, assembly, test), PCBA, and system-level integration.
Hands‑on experience with quality tools and methodologies: SPC, 8D, 5-Why, FMEA, control plans, capability analysis, and reliability standards.
Proven track record building or scaling QMS and driving measurable improvements in yield, DPPM, and field performance.
Experience working with global suppliers, foundries, OSATs, and CMs and managing technical and commercial quality escalations.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to interface effectively with executives, customers, and technical teams.
Experience in data center, networking, AI, or other high-reliability markets with ISO 9001 quality management experience (preferred)
Six Sigma Black Belt or equivalent quality certification (preferred)
