  • Track and analyze nonconformance trends to drive targeted quality improvements and reduce defect recurrence.
  • Data Analysis and Reporting
  • Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), such as yield, defect rates, and on-time delivery, to identify improvement areas.

  • Develop dashboards and reports to provide real-time visibility into quality performance and share actionable insights with stakeholders.
  • Quality Planning and Deployment
  • Develop and implement scalable quality control plans and deploy new inspection technologies to align with company objectives and customer expectations.

  • Support process validation for new or modified manufacturing processes, ensuring readiness and compliance.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration and Leadership
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate quality requirements into product and process development and support new product introductions (NPI).

  • Mentor quality team members on best practices for inspection, data analysis, and process control while driving cross-functional problem-solving initiatives.
  • Perform any other support functions as directed by Quality Management
  • Basic Qualifications

  • Ability to lawfully access information and technology that is subject to US export controls
  • Demonstrated experience in quality initiatives focused on process improvement, defect reduction, and inspection optimization in manufacturing environments.
  • Proficiency in implementing and managing tools such as PPAP, FMEA, and root cause analysis (RCA) to resolve quality issues and improve processes.
  • Knowledge of advanced inspection methods and tools, including CMM programming, Gage R&R, and sampling techniques, with a focus on effectiveness and efficiency.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data, identify trends, and drive data-informed decisions to improve yield and reduce defects.
  • Proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, customers, and suppliers to ensure quality standards and customer expectations are met.
  • Clear communication and documentation skills to effectively present quality metrics, deliverables, and insights to stakeholders.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, or related field) or equivalent experience in a quality-focused role.
  • Experience in regulated industries such as automotive, aerospace, or defense with familiarity in standards like AS9100, ISO 9001, or IATF 16949.
  • Hands-on experience with Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation and customer engagement for quality deliverables.
  • Experience in statistical process control (SPC) and process capability analysis (Cpk) for monitoring and improving production processes.
  • Certification in Six Sigma (Green Belt or higher) or ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) is a plus
