Quality Engineering Manager

The Quality Engineering Manager will work with various teams in every part of the manufacturing process.

Essential Functions:

Test manufacturing engineering processes monitor quality standards create documentation devise quality assurance tests and define test result criteria according to established manufacturing engineering standards such as ISO9001 ASME BPE 3A ASNT NDT and PED.

Ensure that final precision stainless and specialty alloy tubing products are safe reliable and meet customer expectations.

Create quality engineering practices standard operation procedures (SOPs) and relevant documentation for precision stainless and specialty alloy tubing products.

Eliminate process variation by creating revising and strictly implementing a set of tightly and precisely defined procedures and quality standards to ensure the final quality of the product.

Set out appropriate quality assurance tests and acceptable results to ensure testing for quality throughout manufacturing process is effective and adheres to applicable specifications/standards and internal requirements.

Oversee quality assurance testing and inspections of precision stainless and specialty alloy tubing products develop sampling and testing/inspection plans investigate non-conformances initiate implement and coordinate corrective and preventative actions as appropriate.

Interface with inspection and manufacturing personnel on technical issues specification requirements inspection methods and quality scheduling. Improve the output quality of a process by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. Collect and analyze data for root cause determination and implement problem solving methodologies to improve process performance quality performance compliance to requirements improve customer satisfaction reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Provide metric and monthly report data for management. Support and ensure ongoing conformance to ISO9001 ASME BPE 3A ASNT NDT PED and applicable ASTM certifications.

Review and approve new and revised internal procedures work instructions and documents within the quality engineering system to assure current regulatory industry standards/specifications certification and customer requirements continue to be achieved.
