About the role

  • The ideal candidate will leverage their manufacturing experience and analytical skills to ensure reliability throughout production, supply chain, and testing phases.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and maintain comprehensive quality processes, including production nonconformance management, calibrated hardware procedures, and certification processes for commercial materials in nuclear applications
  • Drive quality assurance within the supply chain, ensuring effective supplier qualification and ongoing performance monitoring
  • Lead or support root-cause investigations related to manufacturing, production, and testing issues, applying a strong first-principle problem-solving approach
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, production, and supply chain teams to proactively identify and mitigate quality risks
  • Document quality procedures, processes, and findings clearly and comprehensively for internal and external stakeholders

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM field (Engineering or related discipline)
  • 5+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment as a Manufacturing Engineer, Test Engineer, Reliability Engineer, or Quality Engineer
  • Think probabilistically and then take action. "If you want to be certain, then you are apt to be obsolete." Over-optimizing the components often degrades the system
  • If you can't make it, find a teammate who can channel your intentions and go in your place.

Skills

  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with an emphasis on root-cause analysis and first-principle thinking
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work cross-functionally
  • Experience within the nuclear industry or other highly regulated environments
  • Familiarity with supplier qualification processes and supply chain quality management
  • Knowledge of calibrated hardware management and certification processes
