Job Summary
Job Title: Senior Quality Engineer APQP Large Engine Manufacturing
Location: Lafayette IN
Work Model: Onsite Role
Duration: 12 Months
NOTE: No Visa Sponsorship
Key Responsibilities
APQP Facilitation & Development: You will spend a significant portion of your time facilitating cross-functional teams to create and refine core APQP deliverables specifically Process FMEAs (PFMEA) Control Plans and Process Flow Diagrams.
Project Management & Tracking: You will independently schedule and lead APQP readiness meetings track actions from PFMEAs and manage your priorities across multiple simultaneous capital programs.
Data Analysis & Validation: You will be responsible for reviewing and developing process capability studies and measurement systems analysis to validate that new equipment and processes are capable and reliable.
Documentation & Reporting: A key output of this role is the creation of final Production Part Approval (PPAP) documentation. You will also be responsible for formal reporting and presenting updates to stakeholders.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: You will interact daily with various departments including Manufacturing Engineering Metallurgy and Metrology to ensure all aspects of quality readiness (e.g. CMM programming validation results) are supported for each new capital program.
Work Environment: This is a 100% on-site role in a factory setting. Your office will be located within the active production plant requiring engagement with the manufacturing floor.
Must Have Requirements:
Must have a reliable personal vehicle.

Manage the documentation suite (Control Plans FMEAs Work Instructions) for engine assembly processes.
Support new product launches by troubleshooting build issues during pilot runs.
Ensure measurement systems for large components (bores faces clearances) are capable.
Required Education:
Education: Bachelors degree in Engineering.
Experience: 8-10 years of quality engineering experience.
