• Lead business-focused communication with internal and external stakeholders, including executive briefings, status updates, and readiness reviews 

• Coordinate cross-functional alignment across engineering, operations, finance, and leadership teams 

• Review and evaluate existing business processes within the Tooling, Process, and Training team; identify opportunities for optimization through AI tools, automation, and data-driven decision-making 

• Design and implement AI-augmented workflows that improve efficiency, reduce manual effort, and enhance tool quality 

Requirements

• Degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, Industrial, Data Sciences, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
• Demonstrated experience conducting financial analysis and building business cases 
• Strong understanding of compliance frameworks and product release processes. Experience working with NRTLs and international certification bodies is a plus
