Senior Product and Quality Control Engineer
About the Role
We are seeking a detail-oriented Product and Quality Control Engineer to ensure our gas sensors and detection systems meet rigorous performance, safety, and reliability standards. You will bridge product development and manufacturing quality, driving continuous improvement from prototype validation through mass production and customer acceptance.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop, implement, and maintain quality control plans, inspection procedures, and acceptance criteria for gas sensor products.
- Conduct incoming, in-process, and final product inspections; perform functional, calibration, and environmental testing (temperature, humidity, cross-sensitivity, drift, response/recovery time).
- Validate new products and engineering changes (NPI/ECN) through qualification testing and design transfer to production.
- Investigate nonconformities, root-cause analysis, and implement corrective and preventive actions.
- Maintain and improve the QMS in line with ISO 9001 (and ISO 14001/45001 where applicable); support internal and external audits.
- Develop and maintain calibration schedules and traceability for test equipment and reference gas standards.
- Analyze quality data (SPC, FMEA, MSA) and produce regular quality reports and KPIs (FPY, defect rate, customer complaints, OTD quality).
- Collaborate with R&D, production, and suppliers on design for manufacturability and supplier quality.
- Support customer technical queries, complaints, and return material authorization (RMA) investigations.
Requirements
- Education: Bachelor's/Master’s/PhD in Engineering (Electrical, Electronic, Chemical, Mechanical, or Mechatronics) or related technical field.
- Working experience: 10 years+
- Languages: Proficient in English and/or Chinese, with strong report writing and presentation skills.
- Strong knowledge of quality tools and methodologies.
- Experience with ISO 9001 QMS; auditor certification is a plus.
- Familiarity with gas sensor calibration, test benches, and reference gas handling is highly desirable.
- Proficiency in data analysis (Excel, Minitab, or similar) and ability to read technical drawings/schematics.
- Excellent communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Attention to detail and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
Preferred
- Experience in product/quality engineering, preferably in gas sensors, instrumentation, or electronics manufacturing.
- Experience with explosion-proof or safety-instrumented products.
- Knowledge of metrology and calibration laboratory practices.
