Position Summary
The Senior Quality Engineer is a senior technical contributor responsible for preventive quality engineering, systemic problem solving, and customer quality execution across the product lifecycle in a regulated aerospace environment. Reporting to the Quality Engineering Manager, this role leads complex quality investigations, drives robust corrective actions, and partners cross-functionally to ensure manufacturing and support processes are capable, compliant, and continually improving.

" Communicates status, risk, and resolution plans clearly to internal stakeholders and external customers.
Root Cause Analysis and Corrective Action

" Uses data to support leadership decision-making.
Audit and Regulatory Support
" Supports customer, certification body, and regulatory audits related to quality engineering activities.
" Verifies implementation and sustainability of corrective actions from audit findings.
" Ensures documentation complies with QMS and regulatory requirements.
Cross-Functional Leadership and Collaboration
" Acts as a senior member of cross-functional and cross-site teams.
" Influences outcomes through technical credibility rather than positional authority.
" Mentors less-experienced quality engineers.
