Design Quality Engineering
About The Position
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is seeking a full-time experienced Program Quality Engineer to perform as the Design Quality Engineer of a team of quality engineers that will execute Engineering Quality Assurance tasks on new Program Designs. Responsible for ensuring quality engineering input is accounted for and modeled appropriately in all value chains such that the total Cost of Quality (CoQ) is right-sized throughout the life of a program. Working with management, design engineering, supply chain management, manufacturing engineering, and sustainment the design quality engineer provides input to the contract review processes, requirements distillation processes, program planning processes, product design processes, product quality planning processes, supplier quality / sourcing activities, and sustainment operations. This role will need to be able to operate in both model-based and non-model-based programs. This role will need to communicate functional requirements to the 1LMX capability development teams to ensure that the quality design processes are incorporated into new business systems. The model-based quality engineer will accomplish most work and create most deliverables within the PLM (or other Engineering) system in use on the assigned program. Thus, understanding of design release processes and how the results of which are absorbed downstream are critical to performing in this role.
