## About the role

You will partner with an external fabricator and our internal engineering team to take this system from prototype through a scalable, high-quality, cost-effective production design. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role for someone who thrives at the intersection of design engineering, supplier management, and quality systems.

## What they're looking for

- Partner with a contract fabricator and our internal mechanical/controls engineering teams to optimize the LIN skid design for lead time, cost, and quality
- Own Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews across the skid, piping, tank, and controls room integration
- Own the quality plan for the system: PFMEA, control plans, inspection and test plans (ITPs), and critical-to-quality (CTQ) feature definition with measurement methods and acceptance criteria
- Establish weld quality controls with the fabricator — WPS/PQR review, welder qualification, and NDE requirements (visual, dye penetrant, radiographic) tied to ASME B31.3 and applicable code requirements
- Drive supplier quality: first article inspection (FAI/PPAP-style) approvals, source inspection, supplier audits, and corrective action follow-through on critical components
- Build the as-built quality documentation package for each skid (material test reports, weld maps and NDE records, pressure/leak test records, calibration and traceability) for internal and code acceptance
