What does an Automotive Quality Engineer Do?

After completing my rotational program, I rolled into the role of Quality Engineer. My friends and the girls I mentor ask me all the time "what do you actually do besides run around like a crazy woman?" and thus the idea for this post was born. In a nutshell, my job is to ensure that the customer always receives parts that meet all of the specifications on their print and when they don't, figure out how to fix it so that should not happen again. While this sounds very simple, there are a lot of moving parts that make up ensuring that your plant meets the customer print when manufacturing a part. Check out the graphic below to see what I do and some facets of my day to day life.
