About Us
Bartlett Additive Manufacturing, LLC, a Bartlett Maritime Corporation company, is standing up a new production facility in Cleveland, Ohio, to manufacture large metal components using wire-based additive manufacturing for U.S. defense customers. We are a small, senior, hands-on team building a facility, its quality systems, and its manufacturing processes from the ground up. The engineers who join now will write the procedures, choose the equipment, and set the standards the rest of the organization will follow.
Job Description
We are hiring a Quality Engineer to build a quality system from scratch. Your first projects will be the Process Control Plan and the inspection infrastructure, and your goals will be ISO certification and qualification to produce additive parts to government customer requirements. Qualification has to be in place before the first parts ship, so this is a role with real deadlines and a lot of ownership.
Key Responsibilities
Establish the quality management system, and lead the facility toward ISO certification.
Help the facility meet government customer requirements for producing additive parts, and prepare for customer and third-party audits.
From day one, develop the Process Control Plan with the Welding and Manufacturing Engineers.
Define the inspection infrastructure: what is measured, how, with what equipment, and in which area of the facility.
Define how parts will be inspected, including dimensional inspection plans and coordinating nondestructive testing with qualified personnel or outside providers.
Lead first article inspection (FAI) work and the documentation that supports it.
Set up nonconformance, corrective and preventive action, and calibration programs.
Define supplier quality requirements, including incoming inspection and material certification review for wire and other materials.
Work with the team to define how build and process data become quality records.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a closely related technical field.
[5 or more] years of quality engineering experience in manufacturing, preferably in aerospace, defense, shipbuilding, or another regulated industry.
Hands-on metrology experience and the ability to define inspection methods for complex parts, which may include coordinate measuring machines (CMM), 3D scanning, and laser or portable measurement tools.
Working knowledge of nondestructive testing methods (such as visual, penetrant, magnetic particle, ultrasonic, and radiographic). NDT certification is not required.
Experience with quality system standards such as ISO 9001 or AS9100, and with writing quality procedures and records.
Experience with first article inspection, process control plans, and nonconformance and corrective action systems.
Clear technical writing and the ability to work directly with engineers, machinists, and auditors.
Willingness to learn data validation and software-based quality records. Experience is welcome but not required.
Qualifications and Skills
Experience with the National Industrial Security Program and 32 CFR Part 117 (NISPOM).
Experience with additive manufacturing or welding quality requirements.
Experience supporting government or defense customer audits.
Current ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) credential.
Experience helping a facility achieve its first ISO certification.
Experience with statistical process control.
This position requires U.S. citizenship. Candidates must be able to pass a background check and must be able to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
