Senior Quality Engineer (Electronics)

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Own electronics quality across the factory as the technical authority on workmanship and acceptance, from PCBA and soldering to harnesses, cables, and battery packs
• Act as first responder for quality issues on the line: disposition defects, contain suspect product, and drive electronics nonconformances through MRB to closure
• Lead MRB for electronics nonconformances and lead containment on high-impact escapes
• Lead root cause investigations on electronics defects in partnership with engineering, and verify that fixes hold on the line
• Define the electronics quality metrics and SPC strategy, and work with software teams to build them into production systems and dashboards
• Run build quality reviews with production and engineering leadership, setting priorities based on risk and impact
• Set the inspection and test strategy for electronics: where to inspect, sample, or error-proof, and when to remove inspection as processes prove capable
• Drive design for quality (DFQ) during new product introduction and design changes so line data and lessons learned shape new boards and assemblies before they reach production
