Senior Manufacturing Quality Engineer

Full time employee role

Location: Hayward, CA – onsite only

Citizens or Green Card holders only

Compensation: $85K - $115K/year



Our client seeks a talented Senior Quality Engineer with a minimum of four years’ experience making parts for the Semiconductor and Aerospace industries. This position reports to the Quality Engineering Manager.



You will ensure their parts are made with as little risk for defect as possible. How will you do this? By means of two approaches: Proactively, you will establish quality requirements and controls that govern how work gets done on the floor. Reactively, you will perform postmortems and RCCAs for jobs in which those requirements and controls failed to prevent non-conformances. When you find the QMS flawed or deficient, you’ll work on improving it. You will work as a liaison between quality assurance, control and mechanical engineering.



You MUST bring:

  • 4 years’ experience in equivalent or similar role.
  • Experience working in a MACHINE SHOP or SHEET METAL SHOP
  • Experience making components for the Semiconductor and Aerospace industries.
  • A deep understanding of the various quality control methodologies for manufacturing commonly employed.
  • Basic current understanding of the metal manufacturing world including, but not limited to, punching, forming, welding, machining, and assembling.
  • Strong teamwork, communication, and people skills.
  • Attention to details (no mistakes please!). No politicians and no shitty attitudes.



Current work experience:

  • with RCCA – currently using
  • with one or more - PPAP, 8D, NC/CAPA, and SPC
  • with reading/understanding machine blueprints and GD&T.
  • Basic SolidWorks skills, Advanced MS Office skills.
  • High mix/low volume parts manufacturing as must – not making the same parts/components over and over again but building unique items



What you will be doing:

  • Use client’s QMS to ensure quality throughout the shop.
  • Upkeep, improve, and evolve company’s quality operations.
  • Work with customers and vendors on all thing’s quality.
  • Execute various Quality Engineer’s tasks and functions as directed by the Quality Engineering Management.



ORGANIZATION’S VALUES AND CULTURE:

Our client is a $40MM job shop/contract manufacturer established in 1964 that serves the ruthless and uncompromising high-tech Bay Area customer by providing everything they want when they want it. Manufacturing parts in one of the most expensive locations in the country for some of the most demanding customers in existence is not easy. Boring widget shop they are not. They want good, dedicated, engaged team members to keep the dream alive. Apply if that sounds like you.
