Quality Engineer

Your Job

Process Quality Engineering (PQE) Position Summary The Process Quality Engineering (PQE) is responsible for improving and sustaining manufacturing process performance through defect prevention, process control, risk reduction, and continuous improvement.

This role serves as the quality leader for internal manufacturing processes, partnering with Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, and Product Engineering to improve yield, reduce scrap, increase process capability, and ensure products consistently meet quality requirements.

The PQE utilizes data-driven decision making, structured problem solving, and quality engineering tools to identify process risks, implement corrective and preventive actions, and drive sustainable improvements across molding, stamping, assembly, plating, and supporting manufacturing operations.

The position plays a key role in Advanced Quality Planning (AQP), process qualification activities, and building a culture of operational excellence.

What You Will Do

• Lead initiatives to improve process capability, product quality, productivity, and manufacturing yield.

• Monitor and analyze process performance using statistical tools and process metrics.

• Identify opportunities to reduce variation, defects, rework, scrap, and customer risk.

• Drive continuous improvement projects focused on manufacturing excellence and waste reduction.

Process Control & Risk Management

• Develop, implement, and maintain Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems, Control Plans, and reaction plans.

• Lead process-level PFMEA development and ongoing risk reduction activities.

• Ensure process controls effectively detect and prevent defects.

• Support Measurement System Analysis (MSA) and process validation activities.

Root Cause Analysis & Corrective Action

• Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) investigations for internal quality issues and process failures.

• Facilitate corrective and preventive action (CAPA) activities using structured methodologies such as 8D, PDCA, 5 Why, Fishbone, and A3.

• Verify effectiveness of implemented corrective actions and sustain long-term improvements.

• Support containment activities and defect reduction efforts across manufacturing operations.

• Support AQP/APQP activities for new products, process changes, and manufacturing transfers.

• Lead quality planning activities associated with new equipment, tooling, and process qualifications.

• Approve and validate process capability studies and qualification packages.

• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering and Operations during equipment installation, launch, and production ramp-up.

Documentation & Quality Systems

• Develop and maintain Process FMEAs, Control Plans, standard work instructions, and quality procedures.

• Ensure quality documentation accurately reflects manufacturing processes and control strategies.

• Support internal audits, customer audits, and compliance activities.

• Participat...
