Job Description:

The Product Quality Engineer is responsible for driving product and process quality across aerospace forging, machining, and heat treatment operations. This role is focused on improving Right-First-Time performance, reducing Cost of Poor Quality, and ensuring the safety and reliability of aerospace components. The PQE acts as the bridge between Quality, Manufacturing, and Process Engineering, leading problem-solving, RCCA, and continuous improvement initiatives to stabilize and optimize production processes.

Job Responsibility:

  • Oversee quality of assigned aerospace parts, ensuring requirements are accurately interpreted from prints, models, and specifications (incl. GD&T), and translated into robust manufacturing instructions
  • Lead structured RCCA/problem-solving (8D, 5-Whys, FMEA, Pareto, fishbone) to prevent recurrence of defects, stabilize processes, and drive measurable improvements
  • Improve Right-First-Time yield by optimizing forging and heat treat processes, machining instructions, and in-process controls
  • Champion APQP-style rigor (AS9145 mindset) for new and revised products: Process Flow, PFMEA, Control Plan, MSA, and process validation
  • Apply SPC and advanced statistical methods (DOE, regression, hypothesis testing) to identify and validate critical process/product characteristics
  • Partner with Forge Shop/Heat Treat, Die Design, Quality, Processing, Machining, and Supply Chain teams to resolve production issues and accelerate improvement projects and reduce COPQ
  • Use time management and project planning skills to introduce manufacturing process improvements, enhance inspection methods, and implement process controls to improve throughput and ensure product safety
  • Quality standards & compliance - Support the AS9100 Quality Management System, and participate in targeted internal/external audits and Nadcap interactions

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or related)
  • 3+ years of experience in Quality or Manufacturing Engineering in aerospace, metals, or discrete manufacturing
  • Proficient in print interpretation, GD&T, and process control/measurement systems

Nice to have:

  • Experience with forging, heat treat, machining, or aerospace special processes (e.g., NDT)
  • Familiarity with APQP/PPAP deliverables, ERP systems (Syteline), and inspection software
  • Lean/Six Sigma certification (Green/Black Belt) or ASQ-CQE
  • experience with DOE
