Easter Seals Jobs

Description: Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is seeking a full-time experienced Program Quality Engineer to perform as the Design Quality Engineer performing design reviews on newly created and released engineering. They will collect non-conformance data and drive process improvements to prevent Engineering defects from propagating through the value stream.

Responsible for ensuring quality engineering input is accounted for and modeled appropriately in all value chains such that the total Cost of Quality (CoQ) is right-sized throughout the life of a program. Working with management, design engineering, supply chain management, manufacturing engineering, and sustainment the design quality engineer provides input to the contract review processes, requirements distillation processes, program planning processes, product design processes, product quality planning processes, supplier quality / sourcing activities, and sustainment operations. This role will need to be able to operate in both model-based and non-model-based programs.

Key deliverables of a Design Quality Engineer:

•Leverage keen knowledge of aerospace, mechanical, electrical and/or structural engineering to collaborate with design engineering throughout the design maturing and release processes to identify and define proper datum schemes, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), key characteristics, statistical tolerancing, and other requirements of concern

•Identify and correct inspectability issues of designs prior to engineering release

•Create first article inspection datasets for parts requiring first article inspection (FAI) within the product lifecycle management (PLM) system

•Identify inspection technology choices and options to downstream facilities and planning organizations

•Create and manage sampling plans and assign to relevant product characteristics so production planning can plan the details of the shop floor work instructions

•Use the digital thread to model impacts from expected quality performance levels on the program’s production system and schedule and coordinate changes as required to product designs or manufacturing plans.

•Assess programs’ readiness states against quality readiness level (QRL) gates for programs throughout their acquisition lifecycle with respect to the Design and Planning Processes

The model-based quality engineer will accomplish most work and create most deliverables within the PLM (or other Engineering) system in use on the assigned program. Thus, understanding of design release processes and how the results of which are absorbed downstream are critical to performing in this role.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college in a related discipline, 5 years or more of professional experience in Quality Engineering or related experience in other Aerospace Engineering disciplines; or 3 years of professional experience with a related Master’s degree.

• Product Design process knowledge and evaluation experience

• CAD/CAM experience

Desired Skills:

• Strong aircraft technical acumen

• Strong data analysis skills

• Intermediate knowledge of G&DT, its application within a design dataset, and the usage by manufacturing

• Experience with typical aircraft production processes

• Experience with metrology and product verification methods and capabilities

• Demonstrated performance with failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), control plans, FAI planning, statistical process control

• Knowledge of aerospace contracting processes, supply chain management, and sustainment operations

• Quality management system (QMS) assessments and audits
