Senior Electronics Quality Engineer - Drones & Defense

nerostechnologies; Torrance (CA); In loco; USD 162.000 - 226.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Neros is seeking a Senior Quality Engineer to own electronics build quality across the factory as we scale production. You will serve as the technical authority on electronics quality, lead containment and MRB activities, and partner with engineering to drive root-cause investigations and robust fixes.

You will define metrics, implement SPC, and collaborate with software teams to embed quality data in production dashboards.

Competenze

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or physics
• 5+ years in quality, manufacturing, reliability, or electrical design engineering role supporting electronics production
• Experience with SMT processes and inspection (solder paste, reflow, AOI, X-ray, ICT or flying probe) and their common defect modes
• Experience with secondary and post-SMT processes, such as through-hole soldering, component preparation (lead forming, tinning, de-golding), and conformal coating, and their common defect modes
• Track record leading RCCA and corrective action to closure on production lines using 8D, 5 Whys, fishbone, PFMEA, control plans, FAI, and SPC
• Proficiency in SQL and Python, including building queries, dashboards, or tools that others use to track production quality

Mansioni

• Own electronics quality across the factory as the technical authority on workmanship and acceptance, from PCBA and soldering to harnesses, cables, and battery packs
• Act as first responder for quality issues on the line: disposition defects, contain suspect product, and drive electronics nonconformances through MRB to closure
• Lead MRB for electronics nonconformances and lead containment on high‑impact escapes
• Lead root cause investigations on electronics defects in partnership with engineering, and verify that fixes hold on the line
• Define the electronics quality metrics and SPC strategy, and work with software teams to build them into production systems and dashboards
• Run build quality reviews with production and engineering leadership, setting priorities based on risk and impact
• Set the inspection and test strategy for electronics: where to inspect, sample, or error‑proof, and when to remove inspection as processes prove capable
• Drive design for quality during new product introduction and design changes so line data and lessons learned shape new boards and assemblies before they reach production
• Own the factory ESD control plan and IPC certification program, including audits and compliance
• Mentor quality engineers and technicians, and help build the quality team as production scales
