Quality EngineerWe are seeking a Quality Engineer to join our Quality Engineering organization. You will execute and support the comprehensive quality strategy for our advanced operations, contributing across the quality lifecycle from early development through high-volume production. You will help build and maintain the quality management system and apply the standards and systems that ensure our advanced hardware products meet the highest quality bar.This is a high-development environment that's evolving rapidly. You will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team of Quality Control Engineers, Supplier Quality Engineers, Metrology specialists, and Quality Technicians embedded across the product lifecycle.Key Job ResponsibilitiesQuality Systems & StandardsSupport the development and maintenance of the Quality Management System (QMS), including control plans, inspection standards, and procedures that scale from pilot through high-volume productionExecute IQC, in-process inspection, and final product acceptance activities. Support the Material Review Board (MRB) process for non-conforming material dispositionMaintain quality data systems for tracking defects, yields, escapes, and corrective actions. Use data to identify trends and drive improvementsDesign & Process QualityParticipate in DFMEAs and PFMEAs during product and process development. Provide quantitative feedback on manufacturability, process capability, and quality risk to design teamsSupport quality readiness for New Product Introductions (NPI), applying design-for-quality and design-for-inspection principles early in the development cycleExecute measurement system analysis (MSA), process capability studies (Cpk/Ppk), and validation protocols to qualify new products and processesSupplier Quality & Incoming Quality ControlExecute Supplier Quality Engineering activities - ensure suppliers complete PPAP and meet quality requirements before parts are released for production. Conduct first article inspections (FAI) for new parts and engineering changesMonitor supplier quality performance through scorecards, corrective action requests (SCARs/8Ds), and business reviews.
