Job description

Official title: Laatuinsinööri (Quality Engineer)

Location: Littoinen, Kaarina, Southwest Finland, Finland | Employment information: Hybrid working model; contract type not disclosed

The role combines structured quality follow-up with cross-functional collaboration. A successful candidate will not only address individual deviations or complaints, but also connect root-cause analysis, corrective and preventive actions, system development, audits and quality-metric review. The work therefore suits an engineer who can move carefully between data, manufacturing processes and stakeholder discussions. Teleste seeks someone able to guide personnel on quality practices while working closely with production, procurement, product development, project teams, international suppliers and customers. The remit has both preventive and responsive elements, because the engineer coordinates follow-up actions after issues are handled and identifies opportunities through metric analysis.

Responsibilities

• Maintain fulfilment of the quality and customer requirements within the role's scope.
• Handle deviations, complaints and NCR cases, including leadership of root-cause investigations.
• Coordinate corrective and preventive actions and evaluate whether those actions have been effective.
• Develop production and quality systems and carry out internal audits.
• Coordinate incoming and outgoing quality-control activities, identified as IQC and OQC.
• Analyse quality metrics to identify areas requiring development.
• Support and guide personnel in the use of quality-related practices.
• Help reinforce continuous improvement throughout the organisation.
• Work closely with production, procurement, product development, project teams, international suppliers and customers.

Qualifications

• Relevant technical education in production, quality, mechanical engineering or a comparable technical area is required.
• Experience from a quality, production, manufacturing or supplier environment is required, together with understanding of manufacturing processes and quality-management methods.
• The role requires the ability to analyse data and use the analysis in decision-making.
• A solution-oriented and systematic way of working is required.
• Good cooperation and interaction skills are required for the role's stakeholder work.
• Excellent English is required; no Finnish, Swedish, licence or security-clearance requirement is stated.
• Interest in problem-solving, quality development and continuous improvement is required.
• Preferred: Experience in the electronics industry or an international operating environment, including supplier, manufacturing or customer-quality work, is advantageous.
• Preferred: Knowledge of ISO 9001, IATF or IRIS / ISO 22163, Lean Six Sigma, and SPC, MSA, PFMEA or CAPA methods is advantageous.

Skills and Competencies

• Root-cause analysis is used to investigate deviations, complaints and NCR cases in this role.
• Corrective and preventive action coordination is applied to organise responses and monitor their effectiveness.
• Internal-auditing capability supports the development of production and quality systems.
• IQC and OQC coordination is needed to connect incoming and outgoing quality-control activities.
• Quality-metric analysis is used to recognise development areas.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes and quality-management methods informs quality work across the value chain.
• Data analysis supports decision-making when quality issues and improvement opportunities are assessed.
• Stakeholder collaboration supports work with production, procurement, product development, project teams, suppliers and customers.

Benefits and Employment Information

• The role offers responsibility and a genuine opportunity to influence and develop operating methods.
• A skilled, collaborative workplace community is identified as a source of support.
• Broad cooperation from suppliers through customers allows the engineer to observe the practical impact of the work.
• The Quality Engineer role has a hybrid working model; contract type is not disclosed, and the vacancy does not publish a salary.
