The Quality Coordinator maintains integrity, traceability, and useability of engineering and production documentation, while serving as the primary interface between engineering, production, and procurement. The QC will validate design intent and ensure that revisions and quality requirements are accurately captured by controlled documentation workflows, and that production/manufacturing executes against the most up-to-date controlled documentation.

• Oversees the end-to-end quality documentation process that links engineering and production departments, including the intake, tracking, and liability of engineering work requests (EWRs) and engineering change requests (ECRs)
• Coordinates closely with engineering leadership to allocate drafting and documentation resources, while maintaining timely turnaround times.

• Coordinates the formal release of new products and product revisions to the production facility through engineering release notices (ERNs) and engineering change notices (ECNs)
• Ensures proper interdepartmental notification regarding scope, timing, and impact of such changes, with heightened emphasis on documentation rigor, archival standards and traceability (including maintenance of historical revisions of documentation ranging from production work instructions, engineering documents, gerber files, and additive manufacturing files which can be accurately reconstructed and audited)

• QC maintains controlled libraries of engineering drawings, gerber files, and STEP files, and associated configuration files for released and archived parts and assemblies
• Assure unilateral consistency between procurement, sales and marketing, engineering, and production by maintaining clear correlation between internal part numbers, purchasing catalogs, supplier documentation and OEM records.

• Manages the dissemination of controlled documents during revision updates, to prevent version conflicts on the production floor.
• Maintains the necessary separation of duties between the production line employee and the quality element by coordinating with production leadership to systematically purge obsolete drawings, work instructions, and schematics, while rolling out updated documentation in a controlled and traceable manner
• Ensure that all parties have access to only the current controlled documentation, and understand when and why changes have occurred, and how they are to best be implemented.

• Maintain a database of production related quality assurance metrics, including scrap, recycle, and failure rates
• Document trends that reflect the overall efficacy of production processes using structured data sets in a referenceable format to support corrective action and long-term process evaluations.

• Support and lead the continuous improvement of quality standards and control processes by identifying…
