  • Work with Production Quality inspectors to understand inspections with subjective criteria or those that need improvement.
  • Co-ordinate, schedule and facilitate objective First Build Reviews to ensure transparency of design intent, design requirements, design and manufacturing risks, and manufacturability of design.
  • Develop and maintain engineering walkdown criteria for major product milestones to provide clear guidance to Production on engineering intent and acceptance criteria.
  • Identify photo closeout requirements for complete as-built documentation.
  • Use data to make landscape transparent and drive project prioritization. Responsible for ensuring that issues related to product reliability are primary focus.
  • Drive achievement of quality targets through a review hierarchy with appropriate levels of management.
  • Ensure controls in place to prevent reoccurrence.
  • Lead, facilitate, and participate in root cause investigations in their respective area.
  • Deep dive using appropriate quality or analysis tools as required.

  • Validate that drawing captures all requirements needed to build and inspect hardware.
  • Develop Inspection plans and modify as required for process or design changes. Ensure inspection/test criteria are objective with clear pass/fail criteria.
  • Assess new processes for safety and product risks.
  • Ensure adherence to QMS policy and procedures within their work center.
  • Develop criteria and builds audits to identify process weaknesses.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical, manufacturing, mechanical or material sciences engineering
  • Minimum 2 years in a quality, manufacturing, or design engineering role
  • Experience supporting production of complex electro-mechanical, mechanical, or composites systems in high volume work centers and/or during production ramp-up.
  • Knowledge of quality tools such as Lean principles, Six Sigma, Root Cause Analysis and Corrective Action, Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Metrology, Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), Control Plans, and various problem solving approaches.
  • Dedicated to adopting a Lean approach to quality without compromising safety or reliability.
