• International experience, particularly in Asia.

Responsibilities

• Partner with tooling and functional teams to evaluate designs and processes during the concept phase.
• Develop measurement technologies, control strategies, information systems, and manufacturing methods to meet specifications at production scale.
• Develop and implement quality inspection tools for evaluating cosmetic and dimensional part characteristics.
• Compile and evaluate data to determine appropriate limits and variables for process and part specifications.
• Lead activities to balance quality with scalable yields.
• Collaborate with internal and external groups to define quality expectations and appropriate assurance techniques for products.
• Coordinate and prioritize quality engineering functions across multiple programs for team members.
• Expand the capabilities of the team and recruit new engineers.
