About The Position

The Quality Engineer supports process improvement activities, including data gathering, data analysis, and coordination of statistical process control (SPC). The role performs randomized quality control checks on parts and assemblies to help ensure production process stability and conformance to customer requirements. The Quality Engineer may prepare test data, determine root causes, identify quality and process improvement opportunities, and support Design of Experiments (DOE) activities. The position requires a strong working knowledge of quality concepts, visual awareness, and the ability to work with minimal oversight. The Quality Engineer champions APQP activities and helps ensure process flow diagrams (PFD), process failure mode and effects analyses (PFMEA), and process control plans (PCP) meet AIAG standards and customer requirements. The role analyzes production-floor data, follows up on corrective action reports and customer complaints, leads CAPA activities as needed, monitors productivity metrics, and supports manufacturing by translating SPC and other quality data into actionable productivity and continuous-improvement plans. The position ensures ongoing product quality and reports concerns as they arise. The role is based in San Marcos, Texas.
