Senior Quality Engineer

• ◆Quality Planning and Engineering
• ◆Develop and implement comprehensive quality assurance and quality control plans for components and systems across the product lifecycle.
• ◆Define quality metrics, testing methodologies, and inspection procedures to ensure adherence to quality standards from development through production and sustainment.
• ◆Review manufacturing planning to align quality control points and data collection.
• ◆Coordinate work with Quality Technicians and Inspectors as necessary.
• ◆Perform process capability analysis on key characteristics and implement inspection and quality plans.
• ◆Ensure product acceptance criteria reflect the customer's definition of fitness for use.
• ◆Review customer contracts and purchase orders, flow down quality requirements, and collaborate with customer representatives to ensure mutual understanding of

and expectations.

• ✓Collaborate with engineering teams to establish quality requirements, specifications, and standards for new product development.
• ✓Provide input on Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) to optimize product quality and efficiency.
• ✓Perform risk assessments and analysis on designs to identify potential quality and reliability risks, and develop mitigation strategies.
• ✓Utilize tools such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to systematically assess and prioritize risks and develop appropriate risk mitigation plans.
• ✓Participate in Product Readiness Reviews (PRR) and coordinate Final Inspection activities.
• ✓Participate in the review of engineering specifications to ensure the inclusion of adequate quality and reliability requirements.
• ✓Lead Quality's contribution to Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), ensuring robust planning across all phases (Plan & Define, Product Design & Development, Process Design & Development, Validation, and Launch) and embedding quality

into design and manufacturing processes.

• ✓Provide guidance and assistance in quality enhancement strategies and interpretation of workmanship criteria.
• ✓Conduct internal and supplier audit activities, including but not limited to the quality management system, purchasing, contract review, and manufacturing processes.
• ✓Analyze internal and external quality performance and drive measurable improvements aligned with strategic business objectives.
• ✓Defect Management and Corrective Action
• ✓Document and track defects using designated Quality Management Systems, prioritize issues based on severity and impact, and collaborate with cross_functional teams to implement corrective actions.
• ✓Lead complex investigations into product and process nonconformances, field issues, and test escapes, applying advanced problem_solving tools (e.g., 5_Why, Ishikawa diagrams, Design of Experiments, regression analysis, fault tree analysis) to identify true root cause.
• ✓Lead the Material Review Board (MRB) process for nonconforming product, ensuring timely review, risk assessment, and disposition (use_as_is, rework, repair, scrap) in accordance with quality standards and internal processes.
• ✓Coordinate cross_functional MRB meetings (Quality, Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain) to drive data_based disposition decisions and prevent recurrence of known defects.
• ✓Monitor and report MRB and disposition metrics and recommend improvements to reduce nonconformance.
• ✓Drive corrective action and failure analysis in a timely manner.
• ✓Analyze quality data and perform statistical analysis to identify trends and improvement opportunities.

Basic

• ✓Bachelor's degree in a related discipline, or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
• ✓Minimum of 5 - 8 years of related quality engineering experience.
• ✓Experience and strong understanding of DMAIC, FMEA, APQP, Statistical Process Control (SPC), Gage R&R studies, and lean manufacturing methodologies.
• ✓Demonstrated knowledge of ISO 9001, AS9100, and AS9102 standards and audits.
• ✓Knowledge of industry standards and regulations applicable to manufacturing (e.g., IPC_A_610, IPC/WHMA_A_620).
• ✓Ability to communicate with internal/external customers and suppliers to resolve process gaps and apply specified

in a cost_effective manner.

• ✓Knowledge of dimensional inspection measurement systems and their application for the inspection of complex products, including a full understanding of ASME Y14.5 (GD&T), and expertise in mechanical inspection methods and skills.
• ✓Ability to collect, compile, and analyze data using appropriate Six Sigma methods to determine root causes and define effective corrective and preventive actions.
• ✓Demonstrated ability to drive internal and external DPPM (scrap and rework) reduction and on_time delivery (OTD) improvements, both internally and at suppliers.
• ✓Hands_on experience with quality testing equipment, measurement tools, and inspection techniques.
• ✓Experience with creating and documenting Dimensional data packs and First Article Inspection Reports (FAIs).
