Job Description

As a Quality Engineer, you'll focus on maintaining high manufacturing standards through rigorous inspection, documentation management, and compliance auditing. You will lead cross-functional investigations using root cause analysis methodologies like 8D and Fishbone to eliminate non-conformances and drive continuous improvement via Lean Six Sigma projects. The position requires a technical background, proficiency in mechanical measurement and SPC tools, and the ability to train production staff on quality best practices and blueprint reading.

Job Responsibilities:

• Develop, implement, and maintain quality standards to ensure 100% customer satisfaction and adherence specifications.
• Lead cross-functional investigations into internal and external non-conformances.
• Utilize 5-Why, Fishbone, or 8D methodologies to identify the source of failures and implement permanent corrective actions.
• Manage improvement projects (Lean/Six Sigma) to reduce scrap, rework, and manufacturing variances.
• Monitor and report on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Author and manage Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and standard work documents within the Quality Document Control System to ensure manufacturing consistency.
• Conduct internal audits of work procedures to ensure compliance.
• Communicate technical non-conformances to suppliers and internal production teams, following up to verify that process adjustments are effective.
• Inspect and approve incoming materials, in-process production, and finished goods against engineering drawings and specifications.
• Communicate nonconformances to affected parties and lead the initiative for corrections.
• Issue Corrective Actions where appropriate. Manage containment efforts where needed for non-conforming products.
• Manage all production gauges; recommending gauges for new parts and keeping existing gauges calibrated
• Serve as a technical subject matter expert, educating and training floor personnel on quality best practices, blueprint reading, and measurement techniques

• Greenbelt training
• 2–3 years of experience in a quality, inspection, engineering or manufacturing role.
• Experience with quality and measurement systems is required.
• Knowledge of quality systems and procedures
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with the ability to analyze data, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions.
• Statistical Process Control (SPC): Experience using tools like BI or Excel to analyze data
• Root Cause Analysis: Proficiency in 5-Why, Fishbone (Ishikawa), or 8D methodologies.
• Strong working knowledge of mechanical measurement equipment such as calipers, micrometers, height gauges and thread gauges.
• Familiarity with engineering drawings, blueprints
• Experience with industry specification such as API 6A / 6D, API Q1, ISO 9001
• Detail-oriented, with strong organizational and communication skills
