Job Requirements
At Quest Global, it's not just what we do but how and why we do it that makes us different. With over 25 years as an engineering services provider, we believe in the power of doing things differently to make the impossible possible. Our people are driven by the desire to make the world a better place--to make a positive difference that contributes to a brighter future. We bring together technologies and industries, alongside the contributions of diverse individuals who are empowered by an intentional workplace culture, to solve problems better and faster.
Key Responsibilities

• Develop, validate, and optimize gear cutting processes (bevel, spiral bevel, hypoid) for aerospace actuation applications.
• Define and implement manufacturing process plans (route cards, operation sheets, and tooling instructions).
• Specify and program CNC gear cutting, lapping, and grinding machines (e.g., Gleason, Klingelnberg, or similar).
• Lead process capability studies (Cp/Cpk) and ensure compliance with AS9100 and NADCAP requirements.
• Collaborate with design engineers to ensure DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and tolerance feasibility.
• Support FAIRs, PPAPs, and process sign-off for new product introductions.
• Troubleshoot machining issues and drive continuous improvement using Lean and Six Sigma methodologies.
• Manage and maintain cutting tool databases, ensuring optimum tool life, geometry, and cost efficiency.
• Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective/preventive actions (CAPA) on non-conformances.
• Liaise with suppliers and equipment manufacturers for new machine installations, upgrades, and process support.

We are known for our extraordinary people who make the impossible possible every day. Questians are driven by hunger, humility, and aspiration. We believe that our company culture is the key to our ability to make a true difference in every industry we reach. Our teams regularly invest time and dedicated effort into internal culture work, ensuring that all voices are heard.
We wholeheartedly believe in the diversity of thought that comes with fostering a culture rooted in respect, where everyone belongs, is valued, and feels inspired to share their ideas. We know embracing our unique differences makes us better, and that solving the worlds hardest engineering problems requires diverse ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds. We shine the brightest when we tap into the many dimensions that thrive across over 21,000 difference-makers in our workplace.
