* Contributing data analysis for Process Capability

* Supporting Measurement System Analysis (MSA)

* Assisting with control plans and validation data packages

* Ensuring AI models align with customer and regulatory quality requirements

* Provide data-driven insights for continuous improvement and defect reduction

1. Data Engineering & Processing

* Collect, clean, and preprocess data from machines, sensors, and IoT devices

* Integrate data pipelines from ERP, MES, and SCADA systems

* Ensure data quality and traceability for quality audits and PPAP

documentation

1. Manufacturing Process Optimization

* Analyze production workflows using AI to improve efficiency and reduce waste

* Develop AI-driven solutions for process automation and optimization

* Support Six Sigma and Lean initiatives with advanced analytics

* Work with scheduling team to build dynamic models that optimize throughput

and cost based on machine availability, labor constraints, and order priority

1. Deployment & Integration

* Deploy models into production environments (edge devices, cloud, or on-prem

systems)

* Integrate AI solutions with existing manufacturing and quality systems

* Monitor model performance and ensure compliance with engineering and quality

standards

1. Cross-Functional Collaboration

* Develop functional alignments by working with engineering, quality,

operations, and IT teams

* Translate manufacturing and quality requirements into AI solutions

* Support audits and customer reviews requiring technical data and validation

documentation
