If you are driven to build world-class quality processes and missile products, work hands-on with engineering, and be accountable for a small team, this role is for you. WHAT YOU’LL DO
Drive product development and production for missile programs using processes such as drawing and work instruction reviews, quality planning, inspection, acceptance test performance management, end-of-line metrics, verification, validation, and qualification of processes and parts, sub-assemblies, and the vehicle itself. Drive clarity and resolution for production ambiguities associated with product maturity, process stability, and field performance. Champion the transition from new product introduction (NPI) to a sustainable, high-rate manufacturing process, supply chain, and deployment support. Own the elimination of product risk to improve reliability across the product lifecycle. Ensure the execution of product and process requirements. Define and improve such requirements.
