Would you like to be part of a team that delivers cutting-edge assets to scientific and military customers that support space exploration and the war fighter?
As the Quality Engineer (QE), you will work closely with other disciplines in BAE Systems SMS to support the build and test of payloads and spacecraft hardware in all phases of the program from inception to launch. Your teammates will include Engineering, Test, Manufacturing, Customers, Inspectors, etc.
The Operations Strategic Capabilities Unit plays a fundamental role in enabling efficient business and program execution – from strategic capital investments, industrial operations and an efficient supply chain, to state-of-the-art manufacturing and test operations and top-notch facilities management.
What You’ll Do:
- Work as part of a team during all phases of the program lifecycle, supporting design and execution activities under the guidance of leadership and program personnel.
- Support major program milestone activities such as subcontract procurements, design reviews, testing, configuration control audits, and problem reporting and resolution.
- Facilitate the formulation and documentation of appropriate Root Cause, Corrective and Preventive Actions associated with product nonconformances.
- Participate in and eventually chair Material Review Board (MRB) activities to identify the best path forward for nonconforming hardware. This also includes participation in Failure Review Boards (FRBs) for larger program teams.
