Senior Quality Engineer

Senior Quality Engineer

A major additive manufacturing aerospace facility in Auburn, AL, is scaling 3D-printed parts from qualified designs into full-rate, high-volume production. Parts have already cleared NPI, and as production ramps up, the role calls for a Senior Quality Engineer who's comfortable navigating the process changes, planning updates, and engineering revisions that come naturally with scaling manufacturing.

This is a highly autonomous role for an experienced QE who can take true ownership of a high-volume part number - managing its quality plan, working daily issues to resolution, and partnering with technical and manufacturing teams with minimal day-to-day oversight. You'll be in the middle of the action: working the floor, the data, and the paperwork to keep production moving without sacrificing quality.

Solid working proficiency in PolyWorks and CMM programming/data analysis - this is used daily for dimensional verification and is not something we can train from scratch.

Hands-on experience with CT (computed tomography) inspection for internal/dimensional verification of additively manufactured parts.

Real experience with Material Review Board (MRB) processes - dispositioning nonconformances, working cross-functionally, and keeping production unblocked.

Hands-on familiarity with powder-based metal additive manufacturing processes - including build-plate/substrate removal and post-build depowdering - not just general 3D printing exposure.

Working knowledge of downstream part-finishing processes common to additive manufacturing, including EDM and heat treatment.

Comfort working through planning updates and engineering changes in a live, high-volume production environment - not a static, low-change setting.

5+ years in quality engineering, ideally in a manufacturing environment with frequent process and engineering change activity.

Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T without hand-holding.

Run/Analyze CMM/PolyWorks and CT inspections to verify dimensional and internal quality of additively manufactured parts, including parts that pass through EDM and heat treatment.

Participate in MRB to disposition nonconformances and drive root cause and corrective action.

Review and process planning updates and engineering changes, assessing quality impact before they hit the floor.

Partner with manufacturing engineering and production teams to resolve quality issues that surface as volume ramps up.

Maintain and improve inspection plans and quality documentation as processes evolve.

Report quality trends, risks, and process changes in a regular cadence with Verify and customer leadership.

Ability to commute to Auburn, AL - this is an in-person role.

Minimum 5 years quality engineering experience in a manufacturing environment.

Experience with CMM/PolyWorks, CT inspection, and MRB processes.

Familiarity with powder-based metal additive manufacturing processes, including downstream EDM and heat treatment steps.
