Own the new product introduction of new parts and assemblies on the rocket,: including determining the ideal manufacturing method, identifying and reviewing suppliers, and developing a reliable process for ramping to rate for parts that are new, undergoing drawing changes, or undergoing re-sourcing at a new supplier
Drive technical product improvements and related engineering drawing updates: to reduce risk and potential defect opportunities as well as improve manufacturability, manufacturing lead times, and cost
Review issues on assigned parts and solve to the root cause, implementing: changes at the supplier, at SpaceX or both, as appropriate, drive further actions to closure, and re-source to new suppliers where appropriate
Create and disposition issue tickets where needed, working with engineering: counterparts to implement, but not limited to, required re-work, repair or use as-is disposition
Lead containment activities on assigned parts, working with cross-functional: counterparts to agree on scope, path forward and ultimate resolution
