• Introduce a skill-level certification concept and train newly hired operators to the required level.
• Continuously mentor and train local operators to develop state-of-the-art skills and achieve full independence.
• Drive research initiatives with selected education and industry partners in the fields of advanced materials, spring design principles (incl. software solutions), tool design, measurement, and test method development.
• Organize cross-departmental activities together with local and overseas stakeholders.
• Ensure cross-organizational communication and act as an activity coordinator where needed.
