Staff Electrical Quality Engineer (R3530)

What You'll Do:

• Design & Manufacturing Support
Provide DFM/DFT feedback to design engineering to mitigate manufacturing and electrical test escapes.
Oversee New Product Introduction (NPI) with Electrical Design, Manufacturing Engineering, Hardware Test, and Supplier Development teams to ensure smooth production integration and robust testing coverage.
• Root Cause & Continuous Improvement
Lead initial root cause analysis (RCA) for PCBA and electrical issues detected in production—driving containment, fault isolation, and data-backed corrective actions.
Collaborate with Production, Hardware Test, Electrical Engineering, and Supplier Development Engineering to identify systemic issues and improve product and supplier performance.
Maintain RCA documentation and non-conformance records in the Quality Management System (QMS), ensuring compliance with AS9100 and ISO9001 standards. 
• Avionics Quality Ownership
Own end-to-end quality for avionics electronics and harnesses—from assembly through aircraft acceptance test.
Define inspection steps, acceptance criteria, and manufacturing quality controls for PCB/PCBA electrical assemblies and harnesses.
Report recurring issues and lessons learned during design reviews to prevent repeat failures.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, or related Engineering field.
• 5+ years of experience performing RCA and corrective actions for PCBA/electrical hardware in production or test environments.
• Strong understanding of schematics, PCB layouts, and circuit diagnostics.
• Hands-on experience with electronic test and measurement equipment.
• Familiarity with QMS processes, structured problem-solving, and technical documentation.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Electrical, Computer, or related Engineering.
• Experience designing and troubleshooting PCBAs and developing functional test plans.
• Working knowledge of Python or C/C++ for test automation and data analysis.
• Proficiency with advanced test instruments (oscilloscope, spectrum/network analyzer, SMU, etc.).
• Strong understanding of electronics reliability, failure mechanisms, and metrology.
• Experience with environmental testing (HALT/HASS, thermal, vibration, TVAC).
• Background in Aerospace, Defense, or Automotive environments using Lean/Six Sigma methods.
• Proven ability to work effectively across production, test, and supplier engineering functions.
