Chipton-Ross is seeking a Quality Assurance Engineer for a contract opportunity in Oldsmar, FL.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS (REQUIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE)

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Data Analytics, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related STEM discipline.
  • Professional experience analyzing large datasets, building automated reports/dashboards, or supporting quality improvement initiatives.
  • Demonstrated proficiency with data analysis and visualization tools (e.g., SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent).
  • Experience collaborating in a cross-functional environment and communicating technical findings to non-technical stakeholders.


POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES

This is a contract requirement for a Quality Data Analyst supporting a high-precision electronics production facility. You will partner with program teams and multiple delivery sites that receive complex assemblies, including Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs), cabling, and box-level hardware. In close collaboration with Quality Program Managers, Manufacturing leads, and Advanced Quality Technology specialists, you will use data-driven analysis to identify root-cause remediations, keep product quality on-spec, and sustain on-time delivery. This role requires the ability to work independently, a proven track record of cross-site collaboration, and a solid foundation in quality engineering methods.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Data-Driven Decision & Root-Cause Remediation
  • Apply SPC, Six-Sigma, regression, and hypothesis testing to uncover the true causes of non-conforming hardware.
  • Develop corrective-action plans, track effectiveness, and verify that problems are eliminated at the source rather than merely patched.
  • Executive Communication & Storytelling
  • Translate complex analytical findings into concise visual stories and briefings that drive timely actions across the production site and downstream customers.
  • Quality Metrics & Dashboards
  • Design and maintain Power BI/Tableau dashboards that surface defect trends, first-pass yield, scrap rates, and other KPIs to enable real-time, actionable decision-making.
  • Program & KPI Management - Define, monitor, and report on key performance indicators; maintain audit-ready data to satisfy ISO 9001/AS9100 and other stringent regulatory and contractual standards.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration - Partner with Quality and Manufacturing Program Managers, engineering leads, and Change Control Boards to align on quality objectives and deliver timely health metrics.
  • Process Improvement & Automation - Leverage Python, VBA, or Alteryx to automate data extraction and trend analysis, reducing manual effort and accelerating the decision cycle.
  • Data Acquisition & ETL - Identify and ingest novel internal and external data sources; build robust ETL pipelines with rigorous quality assurance and lineage documentation.


PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS (DESIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE)

  • Hands-on experience with statistical methods used in manufacturing (SPC, Capability Analysis, Pareto, Design of Experiments).
  • Certification or training in Six Sigma, Lean, or other structured continuous-improvement methodologies.
  • Experience building automated data workflows or ETL processes using Python, SQL, or Alteryx.
  • Prior experience in Aerospace, Defense, or High-Reliability Electronics manufacturing.
  • Familiarity with ISO 9001, AS9100, or other aerospace quality standards.


REQUIRED EDUCATION

  • Accredited Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Data Analytics, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related STEM discipline.


WORK HOURS

  • Full-Time-4/10-1st Shift.
  • Shift hours are Mon-Thurs 5 AM-3:30 PM EST.


ADDITIONAL

  • Candidate must have the ability to obtain a clearance.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • Applicants responding to this position will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements by currently possessing the ability to view classified government information.
  • Employment will be contingent on clearing a drug screen and background check. Both must clear prior to start date.
  • Candidates responding to this posting must currently possess the eligibility to work in the United States. No third parties please.
