• Evaluate engineering non-conformances for M&P-related issues to provide technical rationale for disposition whether it be a re-work, scrap or use-as-is disposition with collaboration from other engineering disciplines to identify best solution for program considering triple constraints (quality, cost, schedule)

• Support certification of clean work areas for contamination-sensitive hardware

• Assist in implementing corrective and preventative actions

• Generate and release specifications, test plans and other documents to manage the deployment of materials, parts and processes

• Maintain compliance with contractual and regulatory obligations/requirements and promotes standardization across business activities

• Knowledge and ability to understand and interpret engineering drawings where prior experience reviewing engineering drawings is preferred

• Conducts and recommends analysis to determine reasons for failures of materials, parts and processes
