Own the quality of module parts leaving the production line, making educated disposition decisions on product and supporting cross-functional teams in delivering key quality and production KPIs
Lead quality validation of new and modified module lines — process risk assessment, measurement system analysis (Gage R&R), first article and PPAP review, run-at-rate, and process capability sign-off prior to release to full-rate production
Develop manufacturing requirements, quality standards, control plans, and product quality plans, and deploy manufacturing-level requirements down to subsystems, assemblies, and components
Identify critical-to-quality characteristics to ensure proper supplier and production focus, and lead development of Design and Process FMEAs to identify and address critical risks
Support development of manufacturing equipment, controls, inspection methods, and test plans that address the risks identified in FMEA, including laser weld, dispensing/potting, and vision inspection quality criteria
Drive containment, root cause analysis, and permanent corrective action for quality escapes and line defects using structured methodologies (8D, DMAIC, Ishikawa, 5 Whys), and close the loop with suppliers and Design
Perform process capability analyses and SPC deployment to assess and monitor the ability of suppliers and production processes to meet defined specifications
Participate in design reviews to assure subsystem quality, manufacturability, and reliability, and support statistical tolerancing, Monte Carlo analysis, and other methods to investigate the effects of part and process variability on system performance
