As a Senior Advanced Quality Engineer, you will play a critical role in launching new products and processes into manufacturing with world‑class quality. You’ll lead quality strategy for New Product Introductions (NPI), partnering closely with Product Design, Advanced Manufacturing Engineering, and Plant Quality to ensure new equipment, parts, and processes are production‑ready, sustainable, and optimized from day one.

This role blends strategic leadership and hands‑on technical execution, with a strong focus on reducing Cost of Quality (COQ), mitigating risk, and embedding quality early in the design and manufacturing lifecycle.

• Own qualification and launch readiness for all new manufacturing equipment supporting the Home Laundry product line.
• Develop and execute robust equipment qualification plans in collaboration with AME and equipment suppliers.
• Travel to supplier and manufacturing sites to support planning meetings, equipment runoffs, and major production runs; present qualification results to senior leadership for approval prior to shipment.
• Lead dimensional analysis reviews and align cross‑functional teams on corrective actions and next steps.
• Execute drive/strip/torque studies to validate capable joint designs.

• Lead gage development for all production gages, following GE Appliances’ gage specification and buy‑off process.
• Facilitate gage kickoff meetings with AMEs, Plant Quality, and Design Engineering.
• Perform independent measurement activities as needed (CMM, scanning, calipers), leveraging metrology resources where available.
• Interpret and apply MBD/GD&T and linear dimension drawings to ensure quality plans meet design intent.

• Own PPAP activities for newly introduced in‑house manufactured parts, assemblies, and processes.
• Lead qualification of in‑house equipment and processes with minimal direction.
• Ensure all quality documentation and launch criteria are met prior to production release.

• Lead cross‑functional PFMEAs to identify and mitigate risks associated with new parts and processes.
• Drive Cost of Quality (COQ) improvements across scrap, yield, concessions, damage, and service.
• Develop traceability solutions from raw material through finished product, incorporating digital footprints and poka‑yoke solutions where possible.
• Apply GE Appliances’ 9‑step quality integration process and actively participate in drawing reviews.

• Serve as the quality lead for turnkey launches, ensuring the factory is prepared to take full ownership post‑launch.
• Balance communication between Product Design and Manufacturing to minimize surprises and support world‑class manufacturing outcomes.
• Partner with Plant Quality and Operations to develop standard work, job instructions, and QMS documentation (MCPs, FRMs, MCIs) that meet or exceed ISO requirements.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship across engineering, quality, and operations teams.

• Apply the same NPI quality leadership and execution responsibilities to C‑Change and PCTO initiatives at the CIB site.

• Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering or related discipline OR equivalent 5 years’ hands on experience in manufacturing quality disciplines.
• 5+ years of experience with manufacturing quality/NPI quality projects and process improvement.
