Position Summary The PQC Engineer is responsible for ensuring product quality throughout the manufacturing process by driving defect prevention, inspection effectiveness, quality performance monitoring, and continuous improvement initiatives. This role analyzes product defects, failure trends, customer escapes, and manufacturing quality data to identify opportunities for improvement and reduce quality risks. PQC Engineer partners with Production, Industrial Engineering, Process Engineering, Testing, Quality Assurance, IQC, Warehouse, Service/Repair, and other cross-functional teams to improve first-pass yield, reduce rework and scrap, strengthen quality controls, and enhance customer satisfaction. Key Responsibilities Develop, implement, and continuously improve manufacturing quality control programs and inspection systems. Establish and maintain product inspection standards, workmanship criteria, sampling plans, and acceptance requirements. Monitor manufacturing quality performance across Assembly, Testing, Packing, Warehouse, IQC, and Rework/Repair operations. Provide technical support and guidance to Quality Control Inspectors and Quality Technicians. Review and investigate manufacturing defects, nonconforming material, quality escapes, and customer-reported issues. Analyze defect trends, failure data, yield losses, scrap rates, and repair activity to identify improvement opportunities. Lead and support Root Cause Analysis using 8D, 5 Why, Fishbone, and Pareto Analysis methodologies. Drive containment activities to prevent shipment of nonconforming products. Coordinate corrective and preventive actions with Production, Manufacturing Engineering, Supplier Quality, and other stakeholders. Verify effectiveness of corrective actions prior to closure. Monitor and improve First Pass Yield (FPY), Defects Per Unit (DPU), Repair Rate, Scrap Rate, Customer Escapes, and other quality metrics. Identify recurring manufacturing defects and implement preventive actions to eliminate repeat failures. Evaluate production processes and inspection methods to improve defect detection and prevention. Review manufacturing records, quality data, MES transactions, traceability records, inspection reports, and repair history during investigations. Support Defective Material Review (DMR) activities and disposition of nonconforming products. Support Failure Analysis, customer quality investigations, audits, and corrective-action activities to identify root causes and improve product quality. Collaborate with Engineering and Manufacturing teams to validate corrective actions, support NPI and process qualification activities, and strengthen quality controls throughout production. Develop quality metrics, reports, dashboards, and management presentations to monitor quality performance, yield, defect trends, and improvement opportunities. Lead training and continuous improvement initiatives focused on defect reduction, operational efficiency, yield improvement, customer satisfaction, and reduction of Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ).
