Quality Engineer

Quality Planning:

• Develop and maintain quality control plans, procedures, and standards for equipment manufacturing.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Engineering, Manufacturing, Logistics and Supply Chain) to identify and mitigate quality risks.

• Establish quality objectives and metrics (e.g., defect rate, yield, throughput).

Quality Assurance:

• Conduct audits and inspections to ensure compliance with quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001, AS9100, SEMI S2).

• Monitor production processes to identify opportunities for improvement.

• Analyze data to identify trends and root causes of quality issues.

Quality Control:

• Develop and implement inspection protocols for equipment and components.

• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., SEMI, CE, UL).

• Conduct training for production staff on quality procedures.

Problem-Solving and Continuous Improvement:

• Investigate and resolve quality issues using tools like 8D, Fishbone, and Pareto analysis.

• Implement corrective actions and preventive measures.

• Lead or participate in continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma).
