Responsibilities

• Assess quality performance (or cost-of-quality) using statistical and analytical methods.


• Devise and implement various complex methods and procedures for inspecting, testing, and evaluating the precision, reliability, and accuracy of products, processes, and production equipment.


• Develop and establish advanced quality systems and procedures, inspection plans, quality performance trends, statistical plans, cost estimates, and technical quality plans for proposals.


• Ensure that project and/or process control documentation is compliant with requirements and/or contract.


• Assess the cost of, and determines the responsibility for, products or materials that do not meet required standards and specifications by performing difficult statistical analyses.


• Establish statistical confidence by identifying sample size and acceptable error and determining levels of confidence.


• Provide input on quality to product development teams; recommends producibility improvements by facilitating process reviews, addressing technical data packages, manufacturing methods, equipment, tooling and training.


• Identify quality performance, trends and corrective action by coordinating with customers and suppliers.


• Ensure compliance to specified quality requirements by performing in-house and supplier audits and surveys.


• Develop and initiate programs to improve supplier performance.


• Design or specify inspection and testing mechanisms and equipment, and conducts quality assurance tests.


• Develop experiments by applying factorial or other techniques as appropriate for complex products or processes.


• Develop sampling plans and inspections by applying attribute, variable, and sequential sampling methods.


• Devise sampling procedures and designs and develops forms and instructions for recording, evaluating, and reporting quality data.


• Develop statistical process controls by applying and maintaining applicable control charts. Analyzes data by completing hypothesis, normal distribution, and process capability analysis tests.


• Prepare comprehensive reports by collecting, interpreting, analyzing, and summarizing data and making recommendations.


• Analyze proposed changes in methods and materials. Compiles and writes training material and conducts training sessions on quality control activities.
