Product Quality Engineer

A Product Quality Engineer (PQE) will ensure that the quality of Meta’s hardware products consistently exceed our requirements and customer expectations. In this role, you will develop and implement quality control systems into our hardware manufacturing supply chain. You will use these systems to provide insights and feedback to the hardware design and manufacturing process engineering teams (and others) that enable a design that can support mass production with high cosmetic, functional, dimensional quality.

Summary:

The main function of a human factors engineer is to design, develop, test and evaluate integrated systems for managing industrial production processes including human work factors, quality control, inventory control, logistics and material flow, cost analysis and production coordination. A typical human factors engineer is tasked with increasing productivity through the management of people, methods of business organization and technology.

Job Responsibilities:

• Analyze statistical data and product specifications to determine standards and establish quality and reliability objectives of finished product.

• Develop manufacturing methods, labor utilization standards, and cost analysis systems to promote efficient staff and facility utilization.

• Recommend methods for improving utilization of personnel, material, and utilities.

• Plan and establish sequence of operations to fabricate and assemble parts or products and to promote efficient utilization.

• Apply statistical methods and perform mathematical calculations to determine manufacturing processes, staff requirements, and production standards.

• Coordinate quality control objectives and activities to resolve production problems, maximize product reliability, and minimize cost.

• Estimate production cost and effect of product design changes for management review, action, and control.

• Draft and design layout of equipment, materials, and workspace to illustrate maximum efficiency using drafting tools and computer.

• Study operations sequence, material flow, functional statements, organization charts, and project information to determine worker functions and responsibilities.

• Confer with vendors, staff, and management personnel regarding purchases, procedures, product specifications, manufacturing capabilities, and project status.

• Review production schedules, engineering specifications, orders, and related information to obtain knowledge of manufacturing methods, procedures, and activities.

Skills:

• Creativity, verbal and written communication skills, analytical and problem solving ability.

• Team player and detail oriented.

• Basic mentoring skills necessary to provide support and constructive performance feedback.

• Ability to make sketches, engineering drawings and common computations.

• Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles involved in production of precision technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models.

• Knowledge of business and management principles involved in strategic planning, resource allocation, human resources modeling, leadership technique, production methods, and coordination of people and resources.

• Previous experience with computer applications and software related to engineering field, such as MS Visual Basic, MS Project, and ABAQUS.

Education/Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering required.

1. Must have hard skills - experience in Quality engineering preferable in consumer electronics

2. Good to have skills - must be good at communication and working with large teams, in a fast paced environment

3. Years of experience - at least 4years

4. Story behind the need - RL PQE team is under staffed and has no head count to cover SSG and Stage2 programs (Brad Mast, my manager has approved this CW request)

5. Onsite needed, can not be remote
