ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Supplier Industrialization Execution
- Support industrialization of coating, finishing, and marking processes at suppliers, ensuring readiness for production scale-up.
- Partner with suppliers to develop and validate coating and printing processes, including equipment selection, process parameters, and curing methods.
- Execute APQP, PPAP, and product/process validation activities for current product launches.
- Identify and mitigate technical risks related to coating adhesion, durability, and cosmetic appearance.
- Support supplier selection through evaluation of coating and marking capabilities, capacity, and technical maturity.

Coatings & Marking Materials / Process Engineering
- Provide technical expertise in coating technologies (e.g., liquid coatings, powder coatings, inks), surface treatments, and marking processes (e.g., printing, laser marking, embossing, labeling).
- Evaluate coating and ink systems based on functional and cosmetic requirements, including adhesion, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, UV stability,



and color consistency.
- Support development and optimization of coating processes (e.g., spray, dip, roll, screen printing, pad printing, laser marking).
- Troubleshoot coating defects such as poor adhesion, blistering, uneven thickness, color variation, smearing, or delamination.
- Collaborate on substrate preparation methods (cleaning, priming, surface activation) and curing processes (thermal, UV, etc.).

Supplier Development & Collaboration
- Work closely with suppliers to improve coating process capability, equipment performance, and quality consistency.
- Conduct supplier audits focused on coating processes, environmental controls, and quality systems.
- Support supplier capability development through technical guidance and structured improvement initiatives.
- Collaborate with global cross-functional teams to ensure standardized industrialization practices.
