- Conduct supplier process audits to evaluate manufacturing controls, equipment capabilities, inspection methods, and quality systems.
- Review engineering drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), material specifications, and customer requirements to identify critical dimensions, features, and functions.
- Evaluate TIG welding (GTAW) processes for compliance with applicable ASME B31.3 requirements, including welding parameters, joint preparation, weld quality, and inspection acceptance criteria.
- Review Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), Procedure Qualification Records (PQR), and Welder Performance Qualifications (WPQ) in accordance with ASME Section IX, where applicable.
- Assess welding process capability, including heat input, welding sequence, distortion control, fixture design, clamping methods, and dimensional stability.
- Inspect welded assemblies for dimensional accuracy, workmanship, weld discontinuities, and conformance to applicable drawings and acceptance criteria.
- Evaluate stamping processes for dimensional consistency, tooling condition, burr control, cracking, springback, and surface defects.
- Assess laser cutting processes for cut accuracy, edge quality, dross, distortion, and repeatability.
- Develop and review inspection plans, control plans, process flow diagrams, and process failure mode and effects analyses (PFMEAs).
- Support new product introduction, first article inspections, and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) submissions.
- Verify material composition, mechanical properties, traceability, and supporting material certifications.
- Evaluate paint, coating, plating, and surface finish requirements, including appearance and thickness criteria.
- Lead root cause investigations and corrective actions using methods such as 8D, 5 Whys, and fishbone analysis.
- Partner with sourcing, engineering, manufacturing, and suppliers to improve quality, process capability, yield, and delivery performance.
- Track supplier performance and verify the effectiveness of corrective actions and development plans.
MANAGEMENT & SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES- Typically reports to Management. Direct supervisor job title(s) typically include: Quality Manager
- Job is NOT directly responsible for managing other employees (e.g., hiring/termination and/or pay decisions, performance management).
JOB QUALIFICATIONSKNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS- Certified Welding Inspector (CWI), Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), Six Sigma certification, or equivalent credentials.
- Experience with MIG, TIG, resistance, or robotic welding processes.
- Familiarity with applicable AWS welding codes and nondestructive testing methods.
- Experience with TIG welding of stainless steel or carbon steel piping and tubular assemblies.
- Experience with weld inspection methods, including visual testing (VT), liquid penetrant testing (PT), radiographic testing (RT), and ultrasonic testing (UT).
- Experience with welding fixture development, tooling validation, and dimensional distortion analysis for complex welded assemblies.
- Experience with large metal enclosures, cabinets, racks, chassis, or other complex fabricated assemblies.
- Experience leading supplier qualification, supplier development, and manufacturing readiness reviews.
- Familiarity with Lean manufacturing, tooling and fixture validation, and design for manufacturability.
EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS- Bachelor's degree in Quality Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
- At least three years of relevant quality, manufacturing, industrial engineering, or supplier quality experience in metal fabrication.
- Practical experience with welding inspection, metal stamping, and laser cutting.
- Hands-on technical experience in TIG welding (GTAW), including welding process evaluation, parameter optimization, weld defect analysis, and troubleshooting.
- Working knowledge of ASME B31.3 requirements for process piping fabrication, welding, examination, and acceptance criteria.
- Ability to review WPS, PQR, and WPQ documentation in accordance with ASME Section IX.
- Experience evaluating welding fixtures, welding sequences, distortion control, and corrective actions for dimensional nonconformance.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, weld symbols, and technical specifications.
- Experience using dimensional inspection equipment, such as calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
- Working knowledge of quality management systems, statistical process control (SPC), measurement system analysis (MSA), and process capability analysis.
- Strong problem-solving, communication, and technical documentation skills.
- Ability to work across functions and directly with suppliers to resolve manufacturing and quality issues.
