Our Success Criteria

• Design Adaptation for Manufacturability: Apply DFM and DFA principles to existing designs to reduce manufacturing complexity, enhance reliability, and improve cost-effectiveness without compromising product quality or performance. Analyze and redesign components and assemblies for mass production, selecting suitable materials and proposing changes to enhance manufacturability. Collaborate with R&D engineers to modify designs to suit production requirements better.
• Production Transition Management: Manage the transition of robotics products from prototype stages to full-scale production, ensuring designs are fully validated and ready for manufacturing. Coordinate the design and development of tooling, jigs, and fixtures required for manufacturing the redesigned components. Oversee the validation process of redesigned components through prototyping and testing, ensuring they meet all operational requirements.
• Project Coordination and Communication: Act as the technical liaison between R&D, engineering teams, and the production facility to ensure clear communication and understanding of manufacturing capabilities and constraints. Monitor the progress of projects focused on the industrialization of new products, maintaining schedules, and ensuring deliverables are met on time. Maintain detailed documentation of design changes, test results, and manufacturing process adjustments. Provide regular updates to key stakeholders on project status and milestones.
• Quality Assurance and Compliance: Ensure all redesigned components adhere to the necessary quality standards and comply with industry regulations. Gather feedback from manufacturing and quality assurance teams to further refine product designs and processes.
• Supplier Collaboration: Work with suppliers and Contract Manufacturers to ensure materials and component purchases meet the technical specifications of redesigned parts. Coordinate with the supply chain team to ensure the availability and timely delivery of materials suited for the redesigned components.
