Quality Engineer I

About the role

The primary responsibilities of this role include developing, implementing, and supporting all aspects of the quality system and processes, driving continuous improvement, improving customer satisfaction, reducing waste, increasing efficiency, auditing, measuring, and monitoring production processes to ensure product conformance to specifications.

Responsibilities

• Develop quality systems, programs, training tools, documents, and standard operating procedures for critical to quality production processes ensuring consistent manufacturability of custom products.
• Prepare and execute quality control plans, including the review of specifications, tolerances, capabilities, and preparation of necessary supporting documentation and justification.
• Drive corrective action through root cause identification, structured problem solving, and holding the gains on improvements.
• Perform root cause analysis to find sources of variation and process problems and use DMAIC tools to resolve them.
• Manage the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) submittals.
• Assist in containment activities when reactive issues arise and ensure all customer issues (CAPA’s, etc.) are addressed, filed, and documented in a timely manner.
• Participate and lead regular weekly conference calls with suppliers and internal customers to be informed of current issues and proposed changes.
• Use Statistical Process Control to identify out-of-control conditions and define control plans to reduce process variation.
• Support in the resolution of customer complaints.
• Collaborate with delivery partners to determine appropriate projects of focus, using available data from observation, queries, process data, and working partner input.
• Affirmatively participate in continuous improvement projects aligned to lean manufacturing principles aimed at built-in quality, in-process defect prevention, detection tools, and reinforcement of next operator as customer mentality.
