  • Develop and implement systems and improvement strategies using data from manufacturing systems for direct material flow (in plant transport, inventory staging/access, and assembly line supply) including bottleneck resolution.
  • Design and implement user interfaces (UI), application programming interfaces (API), and backend code for new manufacturing tools and systems.
  • Document requirements for new software, create user guides, document manufacturing systems, and provide training to manufacturing team members.
