  • 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.

Qualifications

Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical, Quality, or related discipline), or equivalent technical training and experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, supplier quality, production support, or a closely related technical operations role.

  • Demonstrated technical writing ability, including work instructions, procedures, manuals, test methods, manufacturing documentation, quality records, or regulated release documentation.
  • 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.
