Perform hands-on failure analysis to drive root-cause and corrective action of production, test, and on-orbit failures to ultimately improve product reliability, quality, and factory throughput.
Develop, validate, and implement production processes for existing and next-gen hardware with objective of maintaining consistent quality and high throughput
Create data analysis programs to identify production yield, failure rates, and implement statistical process controls
Conduct regular build quality reviews to ensure that design intent is achieved and well-communicated; identify opportunities for risk reduction, and removal of complexity in designs and processes to improve manufacturability
Collaborate with production to reliably reduce in-process inspections & maintain inspection plans
Determine the appropriate Quality Management System requirements around traceability, non-conformance, and configuration management for the program
Define ongoing reliability testing strategy to monitor the manufacturing process health, and screen for long-term reliability defects caused by process and component variability
