The successful candidate will serve as a key partner to Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing teams to ensure a safe workplace, maintain regulatory compliance, improve product quality, reduce waste, and drive operational excellence through Lean manufacturing principles.
Responsibilities:
Quality Engineering & Manufacturing Support
* Lead and continuously improve incoming material inspection processes, inspection plans, quality standards, and validation activities to ensure material conformity and support new product introductions.
* Own the Material Review Board (MRB) process, including nonconforming material management, containment actions, root cause analysis, corrective actions, and disposition of affected products.
* Partner with suppliers, Engineering, Operations, and Supply Chain teams to resolve quality issues, improve supplier performance, and support supplier qualification activities.
* Analyze quality metrics, scrap, cost of poor quality (COPQ), and process performance data to identify opportunities for defect reduction, yield improvement, and operational excellence.
* Support quality management systems by maintaining inspection and calibration programs, participating in audits, establishing Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) controls, and driving continuous improvement initiatives using Lean and structured problem-solving methodologies.
Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS)
* Lead and maintain OSHA-required safety programs, EHS compliance initiatives, and site environmental management systems while ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements and Rehlko safety standards.
* Conduct EHS audits, inspections, risk assessments, incident investigations, and corrective action programs to proactively identify hazards, reduce risk, and improve workplace safety performance.
