- Lead process design, requirements definition (URS/FRS), and technical decision-making

- Provide hands-on troubleshooting and technical support during startup and early operations
- Drive technology transfer and process fit-to-plant alignment
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Quality, Engineering, and Automation
- Lead or support risk assessments, deviation investigations, and continuous improvement efforts
