Committed to our customers’ success, we understand that our people are our greatest asset, and we are always on the lookout for great talent.\nWe are looking for a Quality Engineer to help design, develop, own, and continuously improve the policies, procedures, standards, and quality controls used across our electronics manufacturing operation. This role goes beyond executing existing quality processes; the successful candidate will be responsible for establishing how quality requirements are defined, documented, measured, and maintained, while taking ownership of the processes they create and the quality issues that fall within their area. Working closely with Production, Engineering, Supply Chain, Planning, customers, and suppliers, the Quality Engineer will drive issues through root cause, corrective action, implementation, and closure while building practical quality systems that improve product consistency, compliance, and customer satisfaction.\nWhat you'll do\nDevelop, create, own, and maintain quality policies, procedures, work instructions, inspection criteria, and control plans for manufacturing and quality activities.\nTake ongoing ownership of quality processes after implementation, ensuring they remain effective, practical, current, and aligned with changing production and customer requirements.\nTranslate customer requirements, industry standards, engineering specifications, and internal needs into clear quality processes and measurable acceptance criteria.\nDesign and improve quality control methods for PCB assemblies, incoming materials, in-process manufacturing, and finished products.\nDevelop inspection plans, sampling approaches, quality checkpoints, and documentation requirements appropriate to each product or process.\nOwn quality issues from identification through investigation, containment, root cause analysis, corrective action, verification, and closure.\nLead the development and ongoing management of processes for non-conformances, Material Review Board activities, root cause analysis, corrective and preventive actions, and issue escalation.\nAct as a quality point of ownership for recurring or complex manufacturing issues, coordinating the appropriate teams and ensuring actions are completed effectively.\nEstablish methods for measuring product and process quality, including quality metrics, defect trends, recurring failure analysis, and process performance indicators.\nAnalyze quality data to identify systemic issues and develop preventive solutions rather than relying only on defect detection.\nDevelop and improve internal audit processes and support compliance with IPC-A-610, ISO 9001, and other applicable customer or industry requirements.\nWork with Manufacturing and Engineering teams to identify quality risks during new product introduction, process changes, and production ramp-up.\nLead structured root cause investigations and ensure corrective actions address the underlying issue and remain effective over time.\nDevelop supplier quality requirements and work with Supply Chain and suppliers to resolve quality issues and improve incoming material performance.\nReview engineering drawings, specifications, customer requirements, and manufacturing documentation to ensure quality expectations are clearly defined and achievable.\nCreate and maintain quality documentation within the electronic Quality Management System, including procedures, forms, records, inspection criteria, and supporting evidence.\nSupport and take ownership of customer quality concerns, audits, corrective action requests, Certificates of Conformance, and other quality-related activities as required.\nProvide technical guidance and training to inspectors, production employees, and other team members on quality standards, procedures, and newly developed processes.\nDrive continuous improvement projects focused on reducing defects, improving process capability, strengthening quality controls, and increasing customer satisfaction.\nWhat you'll need to get the job done\nDiploma or degree in Quality, Manufacturing, Electronics, Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.\n3+ years of experience in quality assurance, quality engineering, manufacturing quality, or a similar role within a manufacturing environment.\nHands-on experience creating, owning, or significantly improving quality procedures, standards, inspection methods, control plans, or manufacturing quality processes.\nStrong knowledge of IPC-A-610 and practical experience applying the standard to electronic assemblies. Current IPC-A-610 certification is strongly preferred.\nExperience working with Quality Management Systems and standards such as ISO 9001.\nExperience owning non-conformances, Material Review Board activities, root cause investigations, and corrective or preventive actions through to closure.\nStrong understanding of quality tools and structured problem-solving techniques.\nExperience reviewing manufacturing documentation, engineering drawings, inspection criteria, and product requirements.\nAbility to analyze quality data, identify trends, and develop practical process improvements.\nStrong documentation skills with the ability to create clear procedures, work instructions, standards, and quality records.\nDemonstrated ownership mindset with the ability to take responsibility for quality issues, coordinate corrective actions, and follow through until resolution.\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.\nStrong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with Production, Engineering, Supply Chain, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders.\nWhat will make us REALLY love you\nExperience in electronics manufacturing, PCB assembly, or contract manufacturing environments.\nExperience with AS9100 or other regulated manufacturing quality standards.\nExperience with quality tools such as FMEA, SPC, control plans, process capability analysis, or statistical problem solving.\nExperience developing or improving inspection strategies for incoming quality, in-process manufacturing, and finished goods.\nExperience with electronic Quality Management Systems such as ISO Express or similar platforms.\nExperience supporting supplier quality, supplier corrective actions, or supplier development activities.\nProfessional quality certification such as ASQ Certified Quality Engineer, Certified Quality Auditor, or Certified Quality Improvement Associate.\nExperience supporting new product introduction, process validation, or manufacturing process qualification.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6734,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Electronics
