supplier capability, production readiness, and capacity models. Perform engineering trade-off analyses across

mechanical performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost. - Validate design feasibility through prototyping,

testing, and simulation of structural, thermal, and functional behavior. Apply DFM/DFA principles to ensure

component geometry, interfaces, and tolerances are ready. Perform resource leveling and capacity planning across

engineering, operations, and suppliers. Identify and manage technical and operational risks using structured

mitigation plans. Design the global manufacturing and supplier network across Formlabs factories and external

partners. Perform lead-time and bottleneck analysis to protect launch and ramp schedules. Execute make-vs-buy

and supplier selection frameworks. Lead supplier negotiations and risk mitigation to ensure continuity of supply.

Build end-to-end cost models including BOM, labor, tooling, depreciation, yield, and overhead. Perform design-to-

cost and value-engineering trade studies. Evaluate capital investments using NPV, free cash flow, and ROI analysis.

Model yield, scrap, and rework impact on unit cost. Conduct cost variance and sensitivity analyses. Translate
