Job description

About Doodle Labs

Doodle Labs builds the connectivity backbone of theautonomous systems revolution — resilient wireless mesh networks that letdrones, robots, and unmanned platforms operate reliably in the world's mostdemanding environments. We sit at the intersection of defense, robotics, andnext-generation autonomy, powering the machines that are changing howmilitaries, first responders, and industries operate in the field. Our corepurpose is simple: connect anyone and anything, at any time, in any place.

For over 25 years, our team has been at the forefront of meshnetworking, partnering with leading defense programs, robotics manufacturers,and system integrators worldwide. The work here doesn't sit in a slide deck —it ends up in the field, in the hands of people for whom failure isn't anoption.

About the Job

The MQE Product Engineer is the product quality specialistwithin the MQE team. Reporting to the MQE Manager, you will work alongside theProcess Engineer and Test Engineer to support the Contract Manufacturing (CM)Manager in improving the manufacturing quality of our products.

While the Process Engineer improves how products are builtand the Test Engineer maintains the test systems, the Product Engineersafeguards the product itself – its quality acceptance, defect dispositionthrough the Material Review Board (MRB), production automation, cost ofquality, and full traceability from incoming material to finished goods.

In close support of the CM Manager at our contractmanufacturer in Batam, Indonesia, this role turns quality data into action:dispositioning non-conforming product, driving defect reduction with theProcess and Test Engineers, and building the automation and tracking systemsthat make product quality visible and controllable.

What You'll Do

1. Support the CM Manager on Product Manufacturing Quality Engineering

• Coordinatewith the CM Manager, providing supporting Production Engineering relatedtask.
• Defineproduct acceptance criteria, Production quality specifications for eachradio model.
• Monitorproduct-level quality metrics – SMT defect rate (PPM), MI/functional passyield, and outgoing quality (OQC/ORT) – and elevate risks to the MQEManager and CM Manager.
• Supportingand reviewing Product transferring from design completion to Operation,engineering changes (ECN/ECO), and alternate parts.

2. Support the Material ReviewBoard (MRB) Process

• Serveas the Doodle Labs technical representative on the MRB at the contractmanufacturer.
• Dispositionnon-conforming material and products – use-as-is, rework, repair, scrap,or return-to-vendor (RTV) – with documented engineering justification.
• Leadcontainment and purge actions for suspect lots and verify reworkeffectiveness before release.
• MaintainMRB records and disposition turnaround time (TAT) metrics, and drivesupplier corrective actions (SCAR) for material-related defects.

3. Reduce Production Defectswith the MQE Team

• Leadproduct-level root-cause analysis for production defects and customerreturns using 8D, 5-Why, and fishbone methodologies.
• Partnerwith the Process Engineer on process-related corrective actions and withthe Test Engineer on test escape and test coverage gaps.
• Drivecorrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to closure with verifiedeffectiveness, and feed lessons learned into design-for-manufacturing(DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) reviews.
• Analyzetest yield data with the Test Engineer to identify top failure modes andprioritize defect reduction projects.

4. Manage Cost of Quality(CoQ)

• Establishand track Cost of Quality: scrap, rework, retest, MRB holding, warrantyreturns, and inspection costs.
• Prioritizeimprovement projects by CoQ impact and report monthly savings to the MQEManager and CM Manager.
• Reducerework loops and material waste through poka-yoke and upstream defectprevention with the Process Engineer.

5. Establish ProductionTracking from Material to Finished Goods

• Implementend-to-end traceability: incoming material lots → PCBA serial numbers →sub-assembly → finished goods → shipment.
• Defineserialisation, labelling, and barcode/QR scanning requirements at eachproduction stage with the contract manufacturer.
• BuildWIP tracking visibility so any unit can be located and its build history,test results, and material lots retrieved on demand.
• Enablerapid lot isolation for quality alerts, recalls, and engineering changecut-in tracking.

6. Deliver Key Milestones

• First Month: Complete product quality baseline for one high-volumemodel – defect Pareto, test yield, CoQ snapshot, and traceability gaps –documented in English and reviewed with the MQE Manager and CM Manager.
• First Three Months: Collaborate with CM manager to Stand up afunctioning MRB cadence with disposition Turn Around Time (TAT) tracking; propose the material-to-FG production tracking plan and first automationproject with ROI.
