Senior Quality Engineer
Drives manufacturing quality at contract manufacturers for AI hardware systems, leading audits, root cause analysis, NPI quality controls, and continuous improvement using SPC, PFMEA, and data analysis tools. Requires 7-10 years experience in electro-mechanical quality engineering and BS degree.
Responsibilities
Manufacturing Quality Execution
- Serve as the primary quality interface with contract manufacturers; drive alignment on build quality, yield, and corrective actions.
- Lead day-to-day quality activities at the factory floor — audits, line walks, quality gates, outgoing quality checks.
- Monitor SPC charts, AOI/inspection data, and parametric performance to proactively identify and correct drift.
- Coordinate issue containment, corrective action, and verification to closure.
- Own the quality alert process and partner with Engineering to ensure effective disposition of non-conformances.
NPI Quality & Control Plan Strategy
- Lead NPI quality readiness: establish control plans, process audits, and quality gates for new product builds.
- Partner with Engineering and Manufacturing to translate product requirements into measurable quality controls.
- Proactively identify and de-risk potential failure modes before ramp using PFMEA and design reviews.
- Ensure a smooth handoff from prototype to volume production with stable processes and clear accountability.
Continuous Improvement & Problem-Solving Leadership
- Act as a pacesetter for problem-solving excellence — driving the consistent use of 8D, 5 Whys, and PFMEA across functions.
- Partner with Reliability Engineering to integrate manufacturing and field data, accelerating detection of systemic issues.
- Identify and prioritize key quality metrics (yield, defect rates, escape rates, first-pass yield) and ensure visibility to stakeholders.
- Support manufacturing change reviews to ensure risks are understood and mitigated before implementation.
Supplier & CM Engagement
- Work with Supplier Quality to ensure incoming material quality is stable and consistent with outgoing factory performance.
- Build strong working relationships with CM quality teams, establishing clear escalation paths and accountability.
- Participate in supplier audits and quality reviews, feeding learnings back into manufacturing processes.
Skills and Qualifications
- 7–10 years of experience in Manufacturing Quality Engineering for complex electro-mechanical products, ideally in semiconductors, consumer electronics, datacenter hardware, or automotive tech.
- Proven track record managing CM quality — containment, corrective actions, yield improvement.
- Strong knowledge of SPC, DOE, control plan strategy, AOI, and inspection systems.
- Hands-on problem-solving experience with 8D, 5 Whys, PFMEA/DFMEA; known as a go-to problem solver and mentor for others.
- Experience supporting NPI builds and standing up quality controls at new factories.
- Data fluency: ability to analyze yield and quality trends in Excel, Python, or SQL and present findings in clear dashboards.
- Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with aggressive ramps and evolving processes.
- B.S. in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering (or related technical field).
