Quality Engineer

About the role

The Quality Engineer ensures that products being built and processes being used adhere to all standards and requirements. They participate in quality-improvement initiatives and projects. They also perform quality reviews and internal audits; evaluate data and write reports to validate or indicate deviations from existing standards. Quality Engineers analyze statistical data and product specifications to determine standards and establish quality and reliability objectives of finished product. They also recommend modifications to existing quality or production standards to achieve optimum quality within limits of equipment capability.

Responsibilities

• Recommends quality improvement parameters by identifying statistical methods relevant to manufacturing processes.
• Researches statistical confidence by identifying sample size and acceptable error rate; determining levels of confidence.
• Analyzes quality data from plant processes or customer indicators.
• Provides feedback to customers based on quality projects (e.g., warranty, APQP, issues, etc.).
• Leads quality investigations and problem solving.
• Researches statistical reliability by using mean time before failure, Weibull 3-parameter distribution, reliability modeling, and reliability demonstration tests.
• Develops quality improvement experiments by applying full and fractional factorial techniques.
• Develops sampling plans by applying attribute, variable, and sequential sampling methods.
• Maintains statistical process controls by applying demerit/unit, zone charting, X2 charts for distributions and individual-media/range for multi-stream processes.
• Analyzes data by completing hypothesis, normal distribution, and process capability analysis tests.
• Prepares statistical information and reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing data and trends.
• Contributes to quality engineering and organization success by welcoming related, different, and new requests; helping others accomplish job results.
