- Advanced knowledge of statistics: SPC, probability, Cpk/Ppk, Gage R&R/MSA.
- Advanced root cause analysis and structured problem-solving skills (8D, 5-Why, fishbone); Six Sigma certification a plus.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and analytical skills to lead and work with operational teams and internal/external stakeholders.
