Staff Manufacturing Quality Engineer

• Lead the development of quality systems for Prototype operations, including nonconformance management, traceability, documentation standards, and in-process quality gates
• Define metrology practices and measurement requirements based on ASME standards, tailored for complex, precision components used in R&D and low-volume builds
• Conduct capability studies, gauge R&R, and measurement system evaluations to establish long-term quality infrastructure. Support selection, calibration, and validation of inspection equipment and metrology tools
• Write inspection protocols, acceptance criteria, control plans, and verification methods for critical mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical components
• Partner with Hardware Engineering to identify CTQs, refine tolerances, and integrate manufacturability and quality considerations into evolving designs
• Work with Manufacturing Engineering to implement process controls, error proofing, and quality checkpoints throughout the assembly workflow
• Support prototype builds hands-on, diagnosing assembly issues via root causing methodologies, verifying quality criteria, and implement corrective actions for internal and supplier quality issues
• Define quality metrics for low-volume production, including defect trends, supplier performance, dimensional conformance, and first-pass yield
• Contribute to training materials, visual standards, SOPs, and quality documentation for assembly and inspection teams
• Collaborate with Hyundai Motor Group teams as needed, leveraging their expertise in high-precision, high-volume quality systems

• Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Master’s degree a plus
• 6+ years of experience in manufacturing quality engineering, process validation, metrology, or advanced manufacturing of electromechanical systems
• Strong capability with ASME GD&T, dimensional inspection, and measurement methods
• Experience developing or implementing quality systems in prototype, R&D, or low-volume production environments
• Demonstrated ability to write detailed, accurate inspection instructions, quality procedures, and verification documents
• Hands-on experience with metrology tools, inspection equipment, incoming material verification, or measurement system development
• Strong experience with root cause analysis, corrective actions, PFMEA, control plans, and structured problem-solving
• Familiarity with torque control, precision fits, alignment features, shimming, and other high-accuracy assembly concepts
• Ability to collaborate across design, manufacturing, and supply chain to resolve quality issues and improve build consistency
• Strong communication skills with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly across teams
• Comfortable supporting on-the-floor prototype builds and providing real-time quality guidance
• Experience with CAD for drawing review, tolerancing understanding, and fixture/tooling discussions

• Experience in robotics, aerospace, precision actuators, or high-performance electromechanical systems
• Familiarity with motion systems, motors, sensors, or high-accuracy assemblies
• Experience with PLM systems such as Arena or Enovia for revision control and documentation management
• Experience with MES platforms such as Tulip for quality or traceability workflows
• Experience working with external suppliers, contract manufacturers, or design firms on tooling and quality requirements
• Background supporting research-to-product transitions where designs and processes evolve rapidly
