You understand that while the factory builds the product, the field team delivers the experience, and you know how to drive compliance in product presentation, quality, and cleanliness. Proven experience in defining, deploying, and owning technical systems and data pipelines, specifically around quality control, manufacturing execution (MES), or diagnostic tooling. Exceptional ability to synthesize high-volume data (telemetry, manufacturing data) into clear, strategic narratives for both executive and engineering audiences.
