Senior Manager – Electrical Cost & Manufacturing Engineering
• Product Industrialization
• Working closely with engineering and design, helping them make smarter supply chain decisions by assessing concept early in the advanced engineering /selection phase for Cost/Manufacturability/ Reliability.
• Cost analysis for different design iterations (Design to Cost).
• Cost optimization based on should-cost models
• Supply chain analysis and risk status on different component selection (Design for Supply Chain).
Achievements:

? Successfully led the team for hardware project industrialization
? Initiated an operative product cost management program
? Improved product cost structure
? Cost optimization through value engineering

Senior Engineer (Team Lead)– Global Strategic Sourcing
• Responsible for Electronics tear down and Manufacturing Engineering team deliverables.
