Is this QE going to be responsible for specific processes or products in
specific industries?
Some basic QE questions I always enjoyed in interviews are:
1) Have you ever performed a Cp/Cpk analysis? If so what process and
what was the index you arrived at? If less than 1.33 what did you do to
improve the process and increase the cpk value? If not, who did you perform
process improvements, How was a process determined to be in control?
2) Can you solder? IMHO the more they understand the better they are
at it.
3) Set up hypotetical situations with some issues that you have come
accross and see if the QE starts down and obtains the same general root cause as
you did.
4) What is the most important factors in quality?
Other items I have found useful interviewing. These items you just
need to watch for:
1) Does the interviewee listen carefully and answer the question with
confidence. The more a person understands a topic the more confident the
response will be.
2) General attitude. A peson can learn many talents but a good
attitude is not so easy. I take a good attittude over
experience.
3) Looks you in the face and general body language is open and
honest.
Have fun
