Responsibilities:

Undertake overall Responsibility: 

• Manage in FA function and leading new technology to coordinating with engineering to develop core Tech and able to expand to lab levels for daily delegated tasks to manage the related database consolidation.
• Driving with company A improvement on process or capability improvement to make lab goals achieved and support engineering to win in markets. 

Responsible for Strategy: 

• Set clear FA direction goals and develop strategies with high-level visions that reframes what winning looks like and approaches to fulfil new technology assignments in creative and meaningful ways.
• Providing strategy for FA/Lab directions align with organization value drivers and tactics to key program execution with excellence and flexible. 
• Such as Identify FA team with right size, people skills and address technical assistance to design feasibility and make recommendations for necessary changes.
• Transform stakeholders need and assess FA/Lab capability tried-and-true options for scenarios allocate resources to high priorities (people, cost $, management attention, sustainability etc) to significantly shorten the product design cycle and help bring products to market faster while ensuring high quality and performance. 
• also sorts of possibilities to creating an optimal flow to shaping up team to be more engaging and easier to follow.
• With financial knowledges to assess capability and predict organization forecast and analysis per budget scope, and build long-term constructive common ground network across the adjacent functions such as Product Engineering, Project Engineering and Field Application Engineering etc. 
• Align organization culture targeting and systematically pursuing specific areas for further secure lab competitiveness, i.e. (Software/ System/CoE/ 3DP/New Tech etc) 

Responsible for lab strategy mobilization and execution:

• Communicate and distribute the requirements per lab programs implementation keeps FA/Lab ahead of or at pace with the competition,
• Boost and Outline the necessary investment plan of amount, relevance, and quality of test equipment in FA/lab, driving efficiency to maximize value and return on investment.
• Create and use systems for monitoring and manage various performance in FA function OKR/KPIs to process control and follow up and streamline the process and balance of stability and agility that maximizes the speed and effectiveness by using digital data-driven techniques, show diagram visually.
• Broad knowledge to develop FA/Test/3DP etc method per core technology to foster FA/lab growing, and design new correction/prevention quality initiatives to pinpoint the risks and minimize lab operation obstacles, build resilience ahead of any potential crises and update risk assessments so that enable lab able to mitigate the impact and unlock opportunities.
• Define FA/Lab operation mechanism, criteria, and management discipline to ensure FA/Lab for daily work what is in good working order. 
• Leading Team use data to make timely decisions. 
• Research new development method and set guidelines enables engineering/manufacturers to better process control and maintain quality within acceptable limits to prevent failure in early stage, approaching smart tech to accelerate the testing, inspection, and analysis activities, 

Succession Talent Effectiveness:

• Identify key talents per OLR and drive team and equip team development goals to ensure most value-creating roles in lab filled with right position.
• Capable with management skills to prepare effective office support in place, such as Give Training and properly communicate findings so as to help team to continuously improving their abilities to ensure lab organization successfully and sustainable as whole team can do or to achieving next level.
