• Lead product development in close collaboration with global Product Management teams and product companies’ technical teams to ensure products are adapted for the China market and drive local-market-driven innovation.
• Lead product quality improvement initiatives and resolve customer complaints systematically.

Key Account Project Delivery & Quality Control

• Coordinate technical specifications for vacuum component selection and procurement, support supplier technical evaluations, and collaborate with Quality and Procurement teams for incoming inspection.
• Develop vacuum test protocols (helium leak detection, RGA, ultimate pressure and pumping speed curves), analyze anomalies, and propose corrective actions.

Team Building & Management

• Recruit, develop, and lead a team of vacuum engineers and technicians; establish technical upskilling plans.
• Allocate tasks covering design, testing, and on-site support; monitor project progress and quality deliverables.

Customer & Field Support

• Support sales and solution teams in pre-sales technical discussions, assessing customer requirements (e.g., base pressure, pressure rise rate, allowable hydrocarbon contamination level).
