Job Description:
Job Description Job Description JOB SUMMARY/OBJECTIVE: The
Senior Manufacturing Quality Engineer plays a key role in
developing and managing manufacturing quality systems. This
position works closely with engineering and manufacturing to ensure
that quality requirements, performance improvements, process
controls, and compliance with quality assurance standards are
clearly defined, implemented, and monitored. The role requires a
thorough understanding of CNC manufacturing processes, PC-DMIS
Level 3 CMM programming experience, the ability to design and
validate gauges, apply GD&T principles, and establish effective
process monitoring tools. ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS: CMM/Metrology
Program, prove out, and optimize CMM routines in PC-DMIS ; develop
offline programs from CAD models and run complex alignments,
best-fit, and iterative routines. Establish probing strategies,
feature constructions, and reporting that align with ASME Y14.5.
GD&T Leadership Interpret and apply ASME Y14.5 to drive datum
schemes that are manufacturable and inspectable. Partner with
Design, Manufacturing Engineering, and CNC Programming to convert
prints into robust control plans and tolerance stack-ups. Gage &
Fixture Design Design attribute and variable gages (go/no-go,
functional gages, fixtures, custom nests); model in CAD and
collaborate with vendors for build. Process & Product Quality
Build/maintain Control Plans, FMEAs, FAI/PPAP packages. Lead root
cause and corrective action using 8D/A3/5-Why; reduce scrap,
rework, and escapes with data-driven countermeasures. Apply SPC and
capability analysis (Cp/Cpk/Pp/Ppk) to milling/turning cells; set
rational sampling frequencies and reaction plans. Shop-Floor
Enablement Support CNC milling and lathe setups; align inspection
to machining realities (tool wear, offsets, fixturing, thermal
effects). Coach operators/inspectors on, in-process checks, and
safe handling of precision equipment. Other Job Functions:
Communicator who can translate metrology for machinists and design
engineers. Decisive in MRB/escape scenarios. Assist on
cross-functional projects as needed. WORKING CONDITIONS/PHYSICAL
DEMANDS: This role operates within a collaborative office setting
with computer-based tasks and production floor involvement.
EXPERIENCE / EDUCATION: 10 years in manufacturing / precision
metrology. Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, Manufacturing,
Industrial, or related engineering discipline. PC-DMIS Level 3
training/certification with demonstrated expertise in complex
routines and CAD model-based inspection. Expert in GD&T (ASME
Y14.5) with hands-on tolerance analysis and datum scheme
development. Understanding of CNC milling and lathes —capabilities,
limitations, and how to design measurement around them. Gage design
experience (attribute/variable) includes Gage R&R and
integration into control plans. Proficiency with SPC collection and
reporting; exposure to integration from inspection equipment to
management dashboards. CAD/CAM literacy (e.g., SolidWorks, NX,
Mastercam) for design review and gage and fixture modeling.
Firearms Knowledge a plus. Disclaimer: The above job description is
not intended as, nor should it be construed as, exhaustive of all
