You apply first-principles thinking to ambiguous manufacturing problems, know when AI genuinely helps versus when it's noise, and can translate concepts like Theory of Constraints into product decisions that engineering can build. This is a hands-on, build-from-scratch role — not a maintain-and-optimize one.
