  • Run structured DFM reviews on incoming production candidates and surface manufacturability issues early.
  • Define the process to move parts from prototype tooling to production tooling, including when soft tooling is sufficient.

Own FAI, qualification, and quality protocols:

  • Build Jiga’s First Article Inspection process, including dimensional reports, CMM, material certs, and photos.
  • Define qualification protocols for parts moving to production, sample sizes, and inspection cadence.
  • Author control plans and inspection plans, and ensure suppliers execute against them.

Enforce configuration and revision control:

  • Know what good configuration control looks like and apply it: track drawing revisions, ECN/ECO flow, and prevent stale revisions from entering production.
  • Verify that what the customer drew, what the supplier received, and what they shipped are all the same part.

Be the technical project manager:

  • Run programs end to end, managing timelines, gate reviews, and stakeholder updates across customer, supplier, and Jiga teams.
