• Interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and customer requirements
• Support MRB activities and nonconformance investigations
• Develop and implement corrective and preventive actions
• Drive scrap reduction, rework reduction, and First Pass Yield improvements
• Support internal and external audits, quality system compliance, and certification requirements
• Work with suppliers and customers to resolve quality-related concerns

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Aerospace, Industrial, or related field)
• 5+ years of Quality Engineering experience in a manufacturing environment
• Strong experience with Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA), 8D, and problem-solving methodologies
• Experience using SPC and statistical tools to drive process improvement
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T
• Experience working directly with production teams in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
• Strong communication skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
• Hands-on approach with a passion for continuous improvement

Preferred Qualifications

• Aerospace manufacturing experience
• Experience with AS9100, FAA, Part 145, Part 21, or other regulated quality systems
• Six Sigma Green Belt certification
