Job Description

As a Quality/Production Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring that manufactured products meet established quality standards while simultaneously optimizing production processes for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This hybrid role involves implementing quality control measures, analyzing production data, troubleshooting manufacturing issues, and driving continuous improvement initiatives on the shop floor. You will act as a crucial link between design, production, and quality assurance, ensuring seamless operations and adherence to specifications.

Responsibilities

• Process Optimization & Efficiency:

  • Monitor and analyze production processes to identify areas for improvement in efficiency, cycle time, and material utilization.

  • Develop and implement strategies to optimize workflows, reduce waste (Lean Manufacturing principles), and minimize downtime.

  • Design and implement jigs, fixtures, and tooling to enhance production capabilities and product quality.

  • Collaborate with the maintenance team to ensure machine uptime and performance.

• Quality Assurance & Control:

  • Establish, implement, and maintain quality control procedures and inspection plans for raw materials, in-process components, and finished goods.

  • Conduct regular quality audits on the production line to ensure adherence to quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001, IATF 16949, GMP specify relevant standard).

  • Investigate and resolve quality-related issues, customer complaints, and non-conformities using root cause analysis tools (e.g., 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram).

  • Develop and implement Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) to eliminate recurrence of quality defects.

• Data Analysis & Reporting:

  • Collect, analyze, and interpret production and quality data to identify trends, performance gaps, and opportunities for improvement.

  • Prepare and present regular reports on production output, quality metrics (e.g., Defect Rate, First Pass Yield), and improvement initiatives.

  • Utilize Statistical Process Control (SPC) tools to monitor process stability.

• Troubleshooting & Problem Solving:

  • Provide technical support to production teams to resolve manufacturing challenges and machine issues.

  • Lead problem-solving sessions to address recurring operational or quality bottlenecks.

• Documentation & Training:

  • Create and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and quality documentation.

  • Train production personnel on new processes, quality standards, and equipment operation.

• Continuous Improvement Initiatives:

  • Drive and participate in Kaizen, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement projects aimed at enhancing product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

  • Collaborate with R&D and Design teams for Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Quality (DFQ) initiatives.
