Job Summary

• The Quality Engineer II is responsible for maintaining SiTime's Quality management system used in the design and manufacturing of SiTime's revolutionary MEMS-based timing products. Responsibilities include maintaining various process like internal audits, corrective actions, continuous improvements, non-conforming process, customer notifications and other applicable quality processes tied to the maintenance of a robust quality management system.
• It is not necessary to meet all job requirements to be a qualified candidate for the position.

Responsibilities:

• Own quality management system and maintains quality certifications (Ex: ISO9001) for the organization.
  1. Prepare for compliances on other industry standards like IATF16949/MIL PRF 55310 (as applicable).
• Manage documents and records control processes (using existing tools).
  1. Work with Doc Control software company to enhance the functionality of the database and its application. Upon validation, release plan for transfer is created and executed.

  1. Responsibility starts from creation of PCN till shipment of updated product and ends with confirmation from customers that the updated product has no issues.
• Lead the material review board (MRB) to ensure that non-conforming process is robust.
  1. Process ownership starts from identified non-conformance to closure of MRB form and extends to ensuring that actions taken are effective (post implementation).
• Champion the internal and supplier corrective action / continuous improvement process.
  1. Re-validation of effectiveness on actions taken, post implementation (Ex: 3 mo's or 6 mo's after) is an important deliverable.
• Create and maintain metrics for processes (like PCN's, CA/CI, IA, MRB, etc) and make decisions based on data,
  1. Responsibility includes choosing metrics by understanding the pain points and bench-marking the goals with current industry practice which provides avenues for improvement activities.
  2. Creation of high impact presentations to identify trends and key takeaways.
  3. Work with stakeholders to create improvement activities and track them to closure. Ensuring effectiveness of actions taken post implementation (Ex: 3 mo's or 6 mo's after) is an important deliverable.
