Quality Engineer
The main function of the Quality Engineer is to perform analysis and development of processes and procedures that focus on both the development of overall quality and cost saving initiatives for products and services.
The Quality Engineer is considered a technical expert and interfaces with all internal functions as well as suppliers and customers. The primary measurement of success is reduced defect rates, reduction of complaints and reduction of scrap and rework. Specific products and processes are assigned and project results are identified. The incumbent meets regularly with his/her Manager to review status and receive assistance in problem solving.
The Quality Engineer provides specialized engineering know-how and assures the technical effectiveness of the inspection function within the plant. Specific functions involve inspection procedure documentation and gauging, as well as maintenance and troubleshooting the quality performance feedback system relating to waiver, rework, credit, quality costs, complaints and audit data. Projects include leadership of WCM activities and routine maintenance of quality systems and troubleshooting problems, which impede the effective operation of quality functions. He/she will initiate steps to explore, in some detail, the precise nature of the problem and identify possible corrective actions.
On team projects, the incumbent may formulate independent evaluation or propose changes. This may involve gathering inspection data on finished products, analytical data and determining statistically significant shifts that may have occurred with final product. A typical project may include the isolation of a process in production that caused the finished product to fall short of customer specifications. This project may involve close scrutiny of the product specifications to determine whether they constitute achievable production goals. The incumbent may design production tests, including the gathering of process data to determine what caused the specific quality problem under study. The incumbent will ensure the proper functioning of the system that has been established to convey customer quality requirements to production. He/she will also make certain that incorrect information is purged from procedures, quality plans, specification sheets and any other internal system containing specific instruction relating to the correct functioning of a system or manufacturing process within the plant.
