Full time employee role

Location:

Hayward, CA – onsite only

Citizens only (they are a Federal Contractor)

Our client seeks a talented Senior Quality Engineer with a minimum of four years’ experience making parts for the Semiconductor and Aerospace industries. This position reports to the Quality Engineering Manager. This is a great opportunity for a Quality Engineer to step into a Senior level role.

You will ensure their parts are made with as little risk for defect as possible. How will you do this? By means of two approaches:
Proactively, you will establish quality requirements and controls that govern how work gets done on the floor. Reactively, you will perform postmortems and RCCAs for jobs in which those requirements and controls failed to prevent non-conformances. When you find the QMS flawed or deficient, you’ll work on improving it. You will work as a liaison between quality assurance, control and mechanical engineering.
