About the role

What to Expect

The ideal candidate is a hands-on
quality engineer who combines strong technical judgment with rigorous data
analysis. You will own quality systems and problem-solving for remanufacturing
operations—defining standards, driving root cause and corrective action, and
enabling production and engineering to ship reliable products. You bring a
positive, can-do attitude, clear communication, and the drive to learn quickly
and lead cross-functional work in a fast-paced environment where people carry
real responsibility.

What You’ll Do

  • Own quality engineering
    for remanufacturing processes: control plans, inspection standards, and
    process quality metrics

  • Lead root cause analysis
    and corrective/preventive actions on process, product, and supplier issues
    through verified closure

  • Develop and maintain
    PFMEA, control plans, and reaction plans with process, manufacturing, and
    test engineering

  • Define sampling,
    measurement methods, and acceptance criteria; support MSA/gage capability
    where required

  • Analyze production and
    test data using statistical methods to identify trends, capability gaps,
    and improvement opportunities

  • Govern nonconformance,
    containment, and MRB disposition; ensure traceability and scrap/hold
    integrity in systems

  • Partner with operations
    and technicians to resolve line quality issues and improve first-pass
    yield

  • Support internal and
    external audits and build the quality evidence package for process release
    and launch readiness

  • Drive continuous
    improvement projects that reduce defect rates, variation, and cost of poor
    quality

  • Coach quality technicians
    and production teams on methods, documentation standards, and
    problem-solving discipline

What You’ll Bring

  • Degree in Electrical,
    Mechanical, Chemical, Materials, or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent
    experience

  • Minimum 3+ years of
    experience in Quality Engineering

  • Minimum 2 years of
    experience with electro-mechanical assemblies; chemical processes
    preferred

  • Demonstrated success
    applying design for quality, problem-solving methodologies, FMEA, process
    capability analysis, hypothesis testing, DoE, and SPC

  • Strong background applying
    statistical methods to real manufacturing problems

  • Minitab, JMP, or other
    statistical software capabilities preferred

  • Data mining, databases,
    and scripting experience (e.g., MySQL, Python)

  • Excellent oral and written
    communication skills

  • Ability to work
    effectively with production, engineering, and supply chain in a fast-paced
    environment

  • Six Sigma or ASQ
    certification preferred
