Responsibilities
Own critical manufacturing processes from a quality and capability standpoint (process windows, control plans, PFMEAs)
Define and maintain process parameters, acceptance criteria, and in-process controls
Establish SPC methodologies, control charts, and reaction plans for key variables
Lead root-cause analysis for process excursions, yield loss, and nonconformances
Develop and maintain quality documentation including control plans, work instructions, inspection plans, and validation reports
Support internal and external audits (ISO 9001, customer audits) with technical depth and confidence
Drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) through closure, ensuring fixes are real and sustained
Ensure traceability, data integrity, and disciplined change control across manufacturing processes
Partner with R&D and NPI teams to transition processes from development to production
Define process qualification plans (IQ/OQ/PQ or equivalent) for new equipment and processes
Identify manufacturability and reliability risks early and push for design or process changes upstream
Support customer qualification builds and reliability testing (e.g., accelerated life, environmental stress)
Lead yield improvement, scrap reduction, and cycle-time reduction initiatives
Use data—not anecdotes—to prioritize and drive improvements
Help evolve manufacturing maturity as the company scales (from early production to high-volume readiness)
Mentor junior engineers and technicians on process discipline and quality fundamentals
Qualification
Required
