Maintains and improves the quality management system, inspection processes, and quality documentation. Conducts internal, process, supplier, and customer audits; manages corrective and preventive actions; reviews NCRs, production routings, contracts, and quality requirements; supports first article reporting and product qualification testing; coordinates source inspections; and collaborates with Engineering, Manufacturing, Purchasing, suppliers, and customers to resolve quality issues.

Designs, applies, and optimizes manufacturing processes from prototype through full production for precision aerospace, defense, energy, and biomedical assemblies. Responsibilities include prototype-to-LRIP transition, root-cause analysis, yield and cost improvement, process and supplier development, technical documentation, and regulatory or military contract support. The role requires hands-on mechanical and analytical engineering in a fast-paced production environment.

Develops, optimizes, and documents precision manufacturing processes for aerospace, defense, and medical-device products. Performs root-cause analysis, data collection, design of experiments, process performance analysis, cost estimation, and corrective actions to improve first-pass yield and reduce waste. Collaborates with manufacturing, quality, production, and product development teams to transition prototypes into low-rate initial production while meeting customer, FDA, military, quality, and safety requirements.
