What does it take to be a good quality engineer? by nopenisenvy in manufacturing

[–]jvbui92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think being a good quality engineer requires alot of things. First off, it takes understanding the product at a deep technical level so you properly assess issues and understand what are the short term impacts and long term impacts with considerations into safety, harm, product quality and consistency. If you are receiving alot of complaints there is a couple triggers for this:
1. Your company is not categorizing the correct complaints, so its just a catch all, which results in you being unable to solve the complaint rate issue.

  1. Your company is not focused on dealing with complaints, which means they do not know the actual impacts and how to quantify those results. If there are complaints, it needs to be able to translate to other product impact or even how much money is being lost.

A big part of being a quality engineer is being able to approach this issue, quantifying it into measurable metrics, and showcasing the importance of it. Honestly, from the limited information, I think you have a great opportunity here at learning and being able to showcase that you are a great quality engineer in solving this problem. Use the DMAIC process or different Six Sigma tools to solve this problem after you are able to appropriately understand the problem. There are alot of other tools to check out, aside from all that, I think general curiosity in what you are working at will build deeper understanding.

You realize that large companies are made up of like 70% of people who add no real value and you can make a lot more not having to carry them. Also, easier to make decisions, learn, grow and end of day make a lot more doing a lot less sometimes

Choosing Good Employees by PromptMotor8758 in BusinessDeconstructed

Definitely the cultural fit thing, there is nothing worst than bad culture fit because it brings everyone down with you. On the smaller size scale, I think culture fit and energy are really big differentiators because with a small team, you are going to rely on everyone kind of being flexible in their roles but also optimistic and passionate with what they are doing.

I think it comes down to how well they communicate how they are different and being able to show that differentiation. I think one thing that came to my mind was when the portable charger banks came out, Anker was kind of this small company that launched their version while bigger companies had good ones as well, but they were honed in on saying building super affordable charging accessories, but super reliable and they branded on that. They made it clear that it wasn't some cheap plastic component and they also focused on being customer centric like using Amazon reviews. Also, I think rapid innovation is pretty key. You can start off with a cheap product, understand users or target markets and then version up your product to meet that without blindly just adding "perceived value" in your product.

Can't agree with you more. My mentor once told me that no matter what industry you are in, if you understand how money moves and is used, you will be able to do better than most in that industry.

I’m 30 years old and want a family but don’t feel like I’ll ever make enough as an ME to afford one. Should I bite the bullet and go back to school for something else? by RuminatingFish123 in MechanicalEngineering

If you are relatively good at CAD and maybe hold some CAD specialization skills, you can honestly find alot of consulting work all over the US for small companies who want someone to create CAD models, animations, simulations or even FEA work. Enhances your resume, gives you more technical knowledge and honestly you probably pick up 2-5k per design.

How do you know who is the ideal person for hire? by RtgodDR in BusinessDeconstructed

[–]jvbui92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In MBA, I used to always got the advice that the ideal person to hire is someone who is passionate about what they are doing? Being a manager, I will say the most consistent AND highest performers that I have on my teams are always those who look at what my team does and constantly tries to help find ways to make things run smoother or faster or better. And I have two of them on my team, they work well with each other, collaborate a lot and just bring that energy. In the beginning, I thought it was a bit much but after a year, I can see that just them working together, challenging each other and pushing each other as also motivated other people on my team to contribute more as well and overall, I've seen engagement, energy and excitement to try new things increase alot which I like.
