  • Administer and improve production and repair control systems, test equipment programs, calibration controls, production/repair metrics, workflow accuracy, and data integrity.
  • Analyze production, supplier, repair, and field data to identify trends, risks, root causes, and corrective/preventive actions, and communicate quality status, priorities, ownership, and mitigation plans to leadership.

  • Experience with supplier quality management, corrective/preventive actions, production support, and cross-functional issue resolution.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills, with ability to manage multiple priorities across quality and manufacturing workstreams.
  • Proficiency with ERP, MES, QMS, PLM, production data, or related operational systems; strong Microsoft Excel, data analysis, and documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), Six Sigma certification, or equivalent demonstrated process improvement experience.
