Prioritize APQP/PPAP thinking, statistical process control, supplier audits, DFMEA/PFMEA literacy, and clear escalation writing. Domain plus: precision electromechanical or sterile-device supply chains. No cert list or costs in source data.
Prepare stories on supplier escapes, containment, and permanent corrective action; how you dual-source or qualify new processes under change control; and how you balance schedule pressure with patient-safety risk. Ask how Chennai’s supplier footprint supports da Vinci production and NPI.
