Leads process engineering for high-touch drone manufacturing assembly operations. Manages two engineering managers, develops technical talent, standardizes workflows, implements SPC and Six Sigma, improves production yields through DMAIC and Lean methods, and strengthens MES utilization, component traceability, and document control. The role requires semiconductor or microelectronics manufacturing expertise and leadership experience in an onsite production environment.

Designs and optimizes BLDC and PMSM propulsion motors for UAVs using electromagnetic, thermal, and multiphysics simulation. Develops motor geometries, windings, magnet layouts, performance parameters, and operating models; supports prototype builds and validates simulations against laboratory and flight-test data. Collaborates with mechanical design, manufacturing, testing, and production teams to deliver efficient, reliable, scalable, and cost-effective motors.

Administers enterprise network and systems infrastructure across seven sites, including firewalls, switching, wireless, WAN, storage, DNS, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Windows Server, endpoint management, backups, and disaster recovery. Maintains documentation, ITSM records, compliance controls, and recovery procedures; supports helpdesk escalations and participates in on-call incident response. The role also contributes to strategic infrastructure initiatives and requires strong automation, troubleshooting, and operational ownership.
