What does it take to be a great quality engineer?

[#1]

Greg Mattiussi of Siemens Healthineers speaks about the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) and how to be a great quality engineer in this modern environment.About this time last year, we hosted an event on how to use modern quality engineering methods to stay relevant and competitive. Experts from Los Alamos National Lab, Wolfspeed and Siemens Healthineers talked about embracing automation and the rise of the digital economy. Sound interesting? You can watch the on-demand video of the event.

Here's an excerpt from last year's panel discussion, where Greg Mattiussi begins a conversation about what it takes to be a great quality engineer:

“One thing that I look for is the ability to understand concepts that are relevant to the particular area that the candidate is in and the ability to use those concepts to create actionable ways forward.

“I think it’s important to not just have a set of tools that you’ve been exposed to and, therefore, would bring them up if you were in that situation. You have to understand why those tools and what they will get you. And that’s especially true for statistical methods.”
