## Description

As a Manufacturing Quality Engineer, your mission is to ensure daily shop-floor quality compliance, drive rapid defect containment, and maintain high yields during active production ramps of advanced metal components for high-volume consumer electronics. Reporting to Quality Leadership, you will work directly alongside production operators, machinists, and engineers to execute inspection routines, disposition non-conforming material, and perform physical failure analysis to prevent escapes in high-velocity manufacturing., * Provide daily, hands-on quality support to consumer technology production lines, monitoring line yields, scrap rates, and first-pass yields (FPY).

 * Lead immediate containment and Material Review Board (MRB) evaluations for non-conforming lots, isolating defect trends to minimize production downtime.
 * Set up and execute optical, CMM, and cosmetic inspection protocols (AQL standards) for high-precision, high-finish consumer hardware components.
 * Compile First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) and verify mechanical/dimensional compliance against engineering drawings and GD&T specifications.
 * Support line-level defect investigations using 8D and 5-Why methodologies, collecting photo, measurement, and physical evidence to support root-cause resolution.
 * Perform regular operator observation walks, audit line clearance protocols, and ensure Device History Records (DHR) and lot traveler documentation are 100% compliant.
