MGR II QLTY & RELIABILITY ENGINEERING

Job Overview

Oversees all quality and reliability activities and staff for all products or product lines; manages a team of quality and reliability engineers, technicians, and first-line supervisors.

Job Requirements

• Approving department projects including the creation project deliverables. Reviewing project stage gates and proposals.
• Developing strategy roadmap, setting and tracking KPI metrics and cascading it down to the team; planning all resources (budget responsibilities, headcount) and schedules for functional and quality performance work.• Leading, mentoring and developing mid to large scale teams to promote quality awareness and implement quality programs and initiatives.
• Managing and cascading staffing development and performance management programs for you and all quality staff; maintaining constructive relationships with all departments and external stakeholders; handling escalations at the Manager level and continuing escalation process if needed.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Primary responsibility for developing and driving standardized Design for Reliability Engineering (DfRE) and Robustness Validation (RV) Methodologies for all High-Speed Cable Assembly Products.
• Drive a DFSS culture, one of innovation, constant learning, and continuous improvement that aspires to deliver "First Time Right"; provide product development and DFSS training, coaching, and mentoring to product design teams to create a world class product development organization.
• Drive excellence in Design for Reliability ensuring comprehensive utilization of modeling and simulation, structured DOE approaches, robust product validation including HALT/HAST and Test to Failure (TTF) methodologies.  Oversee integrating reliability considerations during technology & product evaluation, NPI product development from receipt of Customer Spec (Mission Profile) through Product Release into mass production; will have T&V Plan + Reliability Test Plan Finalization Authority for High-Speed Cable Assembly Products.
• Partner with PDE’s to quickly produce and evaluate first samples to expedite speed to market and drive fast and iterative product design improvements; drive Early Concept Testing identifying potential weaknesses and failure mechanisms in the product design and validating all
