Job Summary:

This role will be a focused process improvement role to support the NSPA Patriot Missile Program.  It will combine the responsibilities of a Program Supplier Quality Manager and Fielded Supplier Quality Engineer with a primary focus on process and product improvement for materials that will be shipped or drop shipped as RTX furnished material to our customer’s Certified Round Assembly Facility (CRAF) in Germany.  The role requires the ability to work successfully within integrated teams to analyze, control, and execute actions which predict risks and prevents risks from being realized.  This position works to improve product quality by systemically analyzing and validating measurement system capability for accuracy, repeatability, reproducibility, and stability over time; analyzing product performance using statistical methods to understand root cause, identify significant variances to predicted/targeted values; and translating, analyzing, and prioritizing customer needs and company policy and objectives into quality performance standards.
