Quality Engineering Manager II

• ◆Lead, coach, and develop a team of Quality Engineers, building a proactive, data-driven engineering culture that moves beyond reactive, execution-only support.
• ◆Establish Quality Engineering as an early partner in the design process. This includes design and drawing reviews, DFMEA, design-for-manufacturability/test input, and key characteristic identification before release to production.
• ◆Own product and program quality deliverables, including first article inspection, PFMEA, control plans, acceptance data packages, and build readiness, to meet program schedules and customer requirements.
• ◆Drive root cause and corrective action for nonconformances, test failures, and customer escapes. Lead MRB dispositions and verify that corrective actions are effective and sustained.
• ◆Analyze yield, defect, test, and supplier performance data using SPC and capability analysis. Use it to set and report quality metrics, reduce cost of poor quality, and guide engineering decisions.
• ◆Serve as a primary quality point of contact for program leadership and customer or government quality representatives. Manage product acceptance, deviations/waivers, and customer notifications.
• ◆Partner with Manufacturing, Design/Systems Engineering, Test, and Supply Chain to resolve electronics assembly, integration, and test issues. Support supplier quality engineers on supplier issues that affect program deliverables.
• ◆Define the QE team's strategic roadmap and resourcing across programs, including skills development, workload balance, and succession planning.
• ◆Champion continuous improvement, including lean and Six Sigma projects, error-proofing, and test and inspection strategy improvements. Challenge legacy practices where better approaches exist.
• ◆Coordinate with the QMS and Audit teams to keep product and program execution aligned with AS9100 and contractual flow-down requirements.

• ✓Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field.
• ✓9+ years of quality engineering experience, including 2+ years of leadership.
• ✓Relevant experience can be considered as a substitute for the required educational qualifications. In the absence of a degree, a minimum of 13 years of related experience is required.
• ✓Higher level relevant degree may substitute for experience.
• ✓Knowledge and utilization of AS9100, ISO 9001, and other applicable standards.
• ✓Proficiency in statistical analysis and quality management systems (QMS).
• ✓Strong leadership and project management skills.
• ✓Demonstrated quality engineering experience in electronics manufacturing, such as PCBA, cable/wire harness, or box-level assembly and test.
• ✓Hands-on experience with core QE methods: FMEA (design and process), control plans, first article inspection (AS9102 or equivalent), and root cause and corrective action (8D or equivalent).
• ✓Experience with nonconformance management and MRB, including disposition decisions and customer or supplier communication.
• ✓Experience working directly with Design/Systems Engineering and Manufacturing to influence product quality. Examples include design reviews, DFM/DFT input, or

and drawing review.

• ✓Experience mentoring or leading engineers, with demonstrated ability to develop team capability.

• ◆Ability to work at a computer workstation for extended periods.
• ◆Visual acuity to review technical documents and engineering artifacts.
• ◆Occasional standing and walking on production floor (up to 30%).
• ◆Ability to lift up to 20 lbs occasionally.
• ◆Manual dexterity for handling components and documentation.
• ◆Ability to travel up to 20% to support program or supplier needs
• ◆Ability to work in an office, production, or hybrid environment.
