Role Summary The Quality Engineer is a key technical role responsible for developing, documenting, and maintaining effective quality plans to ensure customer, regulatory, and industry requirements are met throughout the manufacturing process.

This position serves as a liaison between customer requirements, engineering, and production—translating technical specifications into practical inspection and control strategies that support efficient, high-quality manufacturing.

This role requires strong technical judgment in selecting appropriate inspection methods at various stages of production, balancing accuracy, repeatability, and operational efficiency across both shop floor and laboratory environments.

Primary Responsibilities Quality Planning & New Product Introduction (NPI) Lead quality planning efforts during New Product Introduction (NPI), ensuring requirements are clearly translated into inspection and control plans.

Review engineering drawings, specifications, and contractual requirements to define inspection methods and acceptance criteria.

Conduct risk-based analysis (e.g., PFMEA, control plans) to identify critical characteristics and inspection points.

Develop measurement strategies aligned with part features, tolerances, and functional requirements.

Perform hands-on measurements during NPI and early production to validate conformance and support capability studies (Cp/Cpk).

Utilize data to validate and refine inspection methods and quality plans as processes mature.

Inspection Methods & Metrology Strategy Determine and document optimal inspection methods based on risk, feature criticality, and production practicality.

Evaluate measurement solutions considering shop floor usability and lab capabilities (e.g., CMM).
