About the Role
Seeking a highly motivated and hands-on Design Quality Engineer to partner with R&D, Manufacturing Engineering, Operations, Global Quality, and Supply Chain to ensure products are designed for quality, manufacturability, reliability, testability, and long-term performance. This multidisciplinary role emphasizes mechanical design quality and manufacturing, with a working knowledge of electronic hardware, PCB/PCBA manufacturing, and software/firmware quality.
Responsibilities
- Partner with product development teams from concept through production to ensure products are designed for quality, manufacturability, assembly, testability, serviceability, and reliability.
- Translate customer and product requirements into measurable CTQs and apply DFM/DFA principles.
- Provide quality engineering leadership for mechanical components, assemblies, enclosures, interfaces, and electromechanical products.
- Review engineering drawings, specifications, materials, tolerances, and manufacturing requirements.
- Apply knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, dimensional inspection, and mechanical fit/function.
- Evaluate manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal fabrication, molding, casting, fastening, sealing, bonding, and mechanical assembly.
- Identify potential failure mechanisms involving tolerance stack-up, vibration, shock, thermal effects, environmental exposure, wear, material selection, and assembly variation.
- Participate in electronic hardware and PCB/PCBA design reviews with emphasis on manufacturability, assembly, testability, component/process risks, and reliability.
- Apply working knowledge of schematics, PCB assemblies, electronic components, connectors, soldering, and electronic manufacturing processes.
- Collaborate with firmware and software teams on requirements, verification strategies, defect management, and release readiness.
- Support system-level validation and root-cause investigations involving interactions between mechanical hardware, electronics, firmware, and software.
- Lead and maintain DFMEAs and PFMEAs, ensuring identified risks are translated into appropriate controls, verification activities, and corrective actions.
- Incorporate learning from prototypes, validation, manufacturing, suppliers, and field performance.
- Define inspection methods, production tests, acceptance criteria, and validation approaches for mechanical, electrical, and system-level requirements.
- Develop or oversee test fixtures, gauges, and production test systems.
- Establish appropriate environmental, thermal, vibration, mechanical stress, life-cycle, and accelerated reliability testing.
- Support products through prototype, design verification, pilot production, qualification, and transition to full-scale manufacturing.
- Partner with Manufacturing Engineering and Operations to establish manufacturing processes, quality controls, test requirements, and production-readiness criteria.
- Lead structured root-cause investigations using methodologies such as 5-Why, Fishbone, 8D, DMAIC, statistical analysis, and DOE.
- Use manufacturing and quality data to identify trends, reduce variation, improve process capability and yield, and drive sustainable corrective and preventive actions.
- Demonstrate curiosity and willingness to responsibly adopt AI-enabled tools, automation, and data analytics.
- Identify opportunities to improve failure analysis, quality data analysis, test development, FMEA preparation, technical documentation, and engineering productivity.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Quality Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Proven experience in design quality, quality engineering, manufacturing engineering, product development, or a related engineering role.
- Strong understanding of mechanical design and manufacturing principles, including engineering drawings, GD&T, tolerances, materials, assembly methods, dimensional inspection, and manufacturing processes.
- Strong understanding of quality engineering principles including CTQs, DFMEA/PFMEA, root-cause analysis, verification and validation, reliability testing, and process controls.
- Practical knowledge of Six Sigma statistical methods, including process capability analysis, control charts, measurement system analysis (MSA), hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and design of experiments (DOE).
- Experience developing inspection methods, production tests, test fixtures, gauges, or validation methods.
- Working knowledge of electronic products and PCB/PCBA manufacturing sufficient to participate effectively in multidisciplinary design and quality reviews.
- Exposure to software and/or firmware development and testing practices.
- Experience supporting products through development and transition into manufacturing.
- Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and cross-functional problem-solving skills.
