Frequently Asked Questions
What does a quality engineer do in manufacturing?
Quality engineers build the systems that prove a process makes conforming parts — control plans, inspection and SPC, capability studies, and corrective action. They lead APQP and PPAP for new parts, run CMM and GD&T inspection, and drive 8D and CAPA investigations when defects occur.
What is the difference between PPAP and APQP?
APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) is the structured planning process used to develop and launch a new part. PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) is the documentation package — control plans, PFMEA, MSA, capability studies, and dimensional reports — that proves the part is ready for production. APQP is the journey; PPAP is the deliverable.
How much do quality engineer contractors charge?
Rates for quality engineering contractors vary with experience, specialization and the scope of the work. On Automate America every contract shows its rate before anyone applies, and professionals apply at that rate; each professional's rate is on their profile, so you can compare before you request or hire.
What certifications do quality engineers need?
The primary credential is the ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE). Others valued in the field include ASQ CQA (auditor), CSSBB (Six Sigma Black Belt), ASME GDTP for GD&T, and AS9100 or IATF 16949 lead-auditor training for aerospace and automotive roles.
What tools do quality engineers use for metrology and SPC?
Quality engineers commonly use Minitab or JMP for SPC, MSA, and capability analysis; CMM software such as PC-DMIS or Calypso for dimensional inspection; and quality management systems like ETQ, MasterControl, or Intelex to manage CAPA, audits, and document control.
