Celestica
Summary
The Quality Engineer is a critical technical role responsible for ensuring product integrity and manufacturing process excellence within Celestica’s complex rack integration and assembly operations. This role involves developing, implementing, and maintaining effective quality management systems (QMS), driving statistical process control (SPC), and leading investigations and resolutions of manufacturing issues. The Quality Engineer plays a vital part in achieving world‑class quality standards, improving yield, reducing defects, and maintaining compliance with customer and international standards (e.g., ISO 9001). Detailed Description
Process Control and Improvement
Develops and implements Statistical Process Control (SPC) techniques and metrics to monitor critical‑to‑quality parameters and ensure stability in manufacturing processes. Leads the application of Quality Planning tools such as FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) and Control Plans for new and existing rack integration processes. Drives continuous improvement initiatives using Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to optimize manufacturing yield, reduce cycle time, and minimize rework/scrap. Performs regular audits of the Quality Management System (QMS) and manufacturing processes to ensure compliance with Celestica standards and customer requirements. Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA)
Initiates and leads cross‑functional teams in complex Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for internal and external quality failures. Utilizes structured problem‑solving techniques, such as 8D methodology, to define, contain, analyze, implement, and verify corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). Tracks, validates, and closes all CAPA actions promptly, ensuring effectiveness and preventing recurrence of defects. Interacts directly with customer quality representatives to address concerns, report on quality performance, and negotiate technical specifications. Reporting and Systems
Prepares and analyzes comprehensive quality performance data, including defect trends, yield reports, and process capability studies. Manages and maintains program‑specific quality documentation and quality records, ensuring traceability and audit readiness. Supports the NPI team by defining necessary quality checks and test requirements to ensure products are manufacturable and reliable from the outset. Quality Management Systems (QMS) : In‑depth knowledge of
ISO 9001
and experience in QMS implementation and auditing. Problem Solving : Expertise in formal root cause analysis methodologies (e.g., 8D, 5‑Why, Fishbone diagrams) and effective implementation of CAPA. Statistical Analysis : Strong command of
Statistical Process Control (SPC) , process capability analysis (Cpk, Ppk), and Design of Experiments (DOE). Continuous Improvement : Proficiency in Lean Manufacturing principles and/or Six Sigma (Green Belt certification is a plus). Technical Communication : Excellent technical writing, data presentation, and communication skills to effectively train staff and report to management and customers. Tool Proficiency : Competency in using statistical software and Quality Management Information Systems (QMIS). Typical Experience
4 to 6 years of relevant experience as a Quality Engineer or Process Engineer, preferably within a high‑volume electronics, system integration, or complex manufacturing environment. Experience in NPI (New Product Introduction) and transfer of products into mass production. Typical Education
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing) or a related technical field, or consideration of an equivalent combination of education and experience. Educational requirements may vary by geography. Physical Demands
Duties are performed in a dynamic manufacturing environment that requires frequent movement across the production floor. Duties may require periodic exposure to elements such as noise, heat, and dust, and to operating machinery, carried out in accordance with local Health and Safety guidelines. Occasional sustained visual concentration on a computer monitor, detailed data, or small components during failure analysis is required. Occasional overnight travel may be required to support suppliers or customers. Notes
