This position is responsible for working closely with engineering teams to provide quality-focused technical and process oversight of product developments throughout their lifecycle.

As a DAC team member, you will help ensure designs meet quality expectations, as well as customer, regulatory, and other requirements. The role requires the ability to influence the adoption of engineering best practices to identify and eliminate defects before delivery.

Success in this position requires a passion for Quality, process, and continuous improvement, and the ability to build rapport with the Engineering project teams in order to influence the teams to do the “right thing for the right reason”.

• Possess strong attention to detail and apply insightful judgment in order to properly assure compliance and assess necessary quality related improvements. Focus on what is most important for positive outcomes.

• Work autonomously with an inquisitive approach on assigned tasks while not hesitating to ask for help or support on issues you cannot control.

• Assist with engineering project planning activities to ensure plans account for program requirements and past lessons learned, with an emphasis on quality management system objectives.

• Analyze project health data and advise project teams and leadership of design quality trends and systemic issues.

• Investigate and recommend corrective actions and process improvements to deliver high quality designs.

• Meet commitments while supporting multiple simultaneous projects.
