• Review, interpret, and maintain electrical drawings required for manufacturing transfer, documentation recovery, troubleshooting, and CMO production readiness.
• Support electrical schematic design review and documentation completeness to ensure transferred technical packages are accurate, usable, and aligned with manufacturing requirements.
• Apply knowledge of PCB design and manufacturing to evaluate board-level documentation, manufacturing constraints, testability, and transfer risks.
• Use OrCAD, Altium Designer, or equivalent EDA tools to review design files, support schematic / PCB documentation questions, and help resolve manufacturing-transfer gaps.
• Work hands-on with laboratory equipment to support product teardown, board-level investigation, fixture validation, functional testing, troubleshooting, and engineering build readiness.
• Support review of electrical safety considerations and high-voltage-related manufacturing or test risks where applicable, partnering with Engineering and Quality for final technical decisions.
• Close the documentation and knowledge gap for the Venus Systems (i.e. PCBAs and testing jigs).
• Bridge difficult technical communication and incomplete knowledge transfer between internal teams and the current / future manufacturer.
• Support NPI execution and validation activities, including engineering build readiness and IQ/OQ/PQ support.
• Strengthen cross-functional coordination across Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and external CMOs.
• Increase internal ownership of manufacturing knowledge to reduce transfer risk, dependency on external parties, and avoidable NRE spend.
• Perform a structured documentation gap assessment for Venus Systems, related applicators, in-scope PCBAs, and associated test / calibration fixtures.
• Build, organize, and maintain the technical transfer package required for successful production transfer and NPI execution at the selected CMO.
• Support transfer of PCBAs, test methods, test fixtures, manufacturing know-how, and production controls.
• Drive readiness for engineering builds, pilot builds, validation, training, and line qualification.
• Create durable internal knowledge capture and standards that can be reused for future transfer programs and sustaining operations.
• Review the existing manufacturing package for Venus Systems to determine what documentation is missing, incomplete, outdated, uncontrolled, or not transferable.
• Consolidate and organize available technical inputs such as costed BOMs, top-level assembly diagrams, drawings, specifications, CTQ requirements, build history, service user manuals, and forecast-related manufacturing assumptions.
• Identify documentation required for PCBA transfer, including BOM completeness, assembly drawings, Gerber files, fabrication drawings, CAD files, programming requirements, and test procedures where available.
• Establish and maintain a formal gap tracker with document status, owners, priorities, due dates, and escalation needs.
• Support document release, revision alignment, and controlled handoff of manufacturing documentation to internal stakeholders and external CMOs.
• Act as the technical bridge between internal stakeholders and the incumbent / future manufacturer to resolve incomplete, fragmented, or difficult-to-access manufacturing knowledge.
• Translate tribal knowledge into usable manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, test input requirements, BOM clarification, fixture requirements, and DHR / DMR-relevant production information.
• Work cross-functionally to collect, clarify, normalize, and document open technical assumptions that affect transfer scope, labor standards, test readiness, or qualification strategy.
• Support clarification of manufacturing intent where product design documents are incomplete for build-to-print / build-to-spec transfer execution.
• Define and track requirements for transferred or newly required assembly fixtures, test fixtures, calibration fixtures, packaging tooling, and supporting manufacturing aids.
• Support transfer or recreation of existing manufacturing and test fixtures; identify which fixtures may be transferred and which require development or duplication.
• Help establish or refine manufacturing work instructions, process flows, process matrices, inspection plans, routes, training documents, and equipment / tooling documentation.
• Collaborate with internal and external teams to support process controls, receiving inspection readiness, traceability expectations, and manufacturing software / equipment readiness as applicable.
• Build and maintain the formal transfer package for the selected CMO, ensuring clear traceability between source documents, assumptions, open items, and execution deliverables.
• Support transfer-related deliverables such as documentation capture, test transfer, fixture status, tooling requirements, pilot / NPI build support, training inputs, and project reporting.
• Coordinate identification of off-the-shelf (OTS) versus made-to-spec (MTS) component boundaries, PCBA transfer scope, and documentation release readiness.
• Partner with Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality to ensure the transfer package supports both commercial alignment and technical execution.
• Support engineering builds, pilot builds, and issue tracking through documented NPI phases.
• Drive readiness activities for manufacturing process development, routing, work instruction creation, tooling readiness, test development / transfer, line qualification, and training.
• Support validation planning and execution, including IQ/OQ/PQ support, protocol readiness, report inputs, and closure of manufacturing readiness actions.
• Contribute to engineering build plans, build reports, punch-list management, and cross-functional resolution of build-related issues prior to production ramp.
• Ensure lessons learned and technical knowledge gained during builds are captured and fed back into controlled documentation.
• Coordinate effectively across Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Operations, Service, and external CMOs to ensure execution alignment and timely closure of open items.
• Provide structured updates on documentation status, transfer readiness, risk areas, and action plans to project leadership.
• Help reduce avoidable transfer cost and rework by increasing documentation completeness, technical clarity, and internal ownership ahead of transfer execution.
• Support broader operational initiatives when capacity permits, especially where DMR / documentation transfer or manufacturing knowledge capture overlaps with future programs.
