Quality Engineer-FAIR

What You will Do:

• Primary: Review Quality requirements of aero-engine components. Plan and prepare build of a regulatory based and compliant “First Article Inspection Report (FAIR)” supplier package for OEM acceptance. Work as per the requirements of AS9102-Rev C and associated customer procedures.
• Primary: “Balloon” engineer drawings (DISCUS software) to capture required quality inspection points. Determine/verify proper gaging equipment to use it to perform inspections – a part of the FAIR package. Inspection will include both dimensional and visual reviews using both manual and advanced gages / equipment. Inspection tools must be verified for calibration and proper functionality before used. Create or gather and verify all other quality supporting documents (test records, Material CoC, et al) – reviewing and assuring both accuracy and completeness of each. Flag and resolve any discrepancies in any data/records. Take all data and create the “FAIR package” using Net-Inspect software. Sign-off the FAIR as the Quality Engineering who created it and submit for OEM counter-approval – which is pre-requisite to allow release of hardware to OEM for use in engine builds. Store quality records and documents for potential audit. Monitor any changes to process that would require a “Delta-FAIR” to be processed. FAIR’s cover both military and commercial aero-engine builds. The work is performed on-site at a supplier in Connecticut in a modern Distribution Center environment.
