Sr Design Quality Assurance Engineer

Attend cross functional design reviews as the design quality voice and support the peer and team lead tiers, bringing known failure modes and open corrective actions into each.

Ensure design review effectiveness and adherence to the process.

Publish review effectiveness as a red/green indicator by review type, project, and site. Own the design quality metrics: design accuracy by engineer and by project, issue closure rate, and escape rate into manufacturing.

Quantify the cost, rework, and schedule impact of design driven engineering changes.

Prioritize root cause analysis on the design issues that disrupt manufacturing flow.

Classify root causes as process, person, or tool, and aim the countermeasure accordingly.

Maintain Pareto and trend analysis by product line, site, discipline, root cause, and change cycle time, and drive top contributors to permanent resolution through CARB.

Improve design standards, checklists, and training to stop design issues from recurring.

Share ECC and design change analysis with engineering on a regular cadence: top failure modes and the actions addressing them.

Report performance to engineering and Quality leadership: CARB and CCB throughput, open and overdue actions, change volume and cycle time, and top Pareto items with countermeasure progress.

Partner with the Engineering Managers to drive open design quality actions to closure.

Standardize design quality practices, corrective action handling, and change control across Solutions sites (Hanover, Champlin, Dayton).

Verify that UL listing and labeling escapes (UL 891 / UL 1558) are addressed at the design stage.

Multi-site engineering organization experience.

Design engineering background.

Quality or process focused experience.

Six Sigma Green Belt or Lean certification.

Experience chairing a change control or corrective action board.

Quality and engineering change KPI reporting.
