Working as a quality engineer, based in trim and final where I worked covering the cockpit assembly line. Whilst doing this I worked closely with 3 shifts in order to find, root cause and resolve quality and build issues. This was done using various problem solving skills such as PPS, Ishikawa, RED X root causing along with other comparative tools. I also worked closely with the audit team in order to resolve customer focused issues, working not only to resolve these but to prevent future occurrences.
