About your past
How do you work with Production, Engineering and Supply Chain when the fix is not yours to make?
What they are checking: The posting names all three as collaborators, and quality has little direct authority.
This is in Menomonee Falls on commercial cooking equipment. What interests you about that?

What would you do
How do you tell a supplier their parts are not acceptable and still keep the relationship?

Production is behind and wants to ship something you are not comfortable with. What do you do?
What they are checking: The moment a quality engineer either matters or does not.
About the work
Walk me through leading a corrective action from the day the problem showed up.
What they are checking: The posting names leading corrective actions, and most people have only contributed to one.
Tell me about using PFMEA on a new process. What risks did you find?
What they are checking: The posting names PFMEA specifically, and this checks they have run one rather than read one.
How do you write acceptance criteria that an operator on the floor can actually use?
What they are checking: The posting names creating acceptance criteria and visual aids, which fail when written for engineers.
Walk me through inspecting a fabricated metal component visually and dimensionally.

A purchased part fails incoming inspection. Walk me through what happens next.
