I believe that PE and DFM should be handled separately as these roles have points of contacts but are different profiles.
The DFM focuses more on the product design aspect, ensuring manufacturability from the design stage. In contrast, Process Engineering is centered around optimizing and managing the manufacturing processes themselves. Both roles require close collaboration with other departments but differ in their specific responsibilities and points of focus within the product development and manufacturing cycle.
