• Participate in QMS audits for process deficiency and correction.
• Ensure corrective measures meet acceptable reliability standards and that documentation is compliant with requirements.
• Interact in design, incoming material, production control, product evaluation and reliability, inventory control and/or research and development as they apply to product or process quality.
• Involved in lean and six-sigma quality engineering methodologies.
• Hands-on knowledge and experience of mechanical (machine shop) components, assembly, subsystem and system level concepts.
• Strong emphasis on RCCA and CAPA experience.
• Understanding of FMEA and process improvements and standardization of processes.

• Minimum 3-5 years with LEAN Manufacturing application experience.
