Job summary

Expeditors is seeking a seasoned Quality Systems & Continuous Improvement Analyst to combine site-level defect triage with network-wide risk modeling. You will lead end-to-end Six Sigma initiatives, standardize QMS across a global network, and coach operations teams in advanced analytics to prevent delays and improve service levels.

The role requires Master Black Belt or equivalent and deep skills in SQL/BigQuery, R/Python, and BI dashboards, with a strong logistics background.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in Quality Engineering, Quality Systems, or Continuous Improvement within global logistics or operations.
• Master Black Belt or Senior Green/Black Belt certification required.
• Advanced proficiency in SQL/BigQuery, statistical modeling (R, Python, or Minitab), and BI dashboard creation (R Markdown, Looker).

• Automate the flow of tactical defect data into BigQuery to recalibrate dynamic PFMEA scores.
• Build and execute predictive models using BigQuery and R Markdown to forecast and flag patterns.
• Execute the four-step predictive workflow to maintain an active pulse on operational risk.
• Lead cross-functional root cause analysis for multi-site issues and translate outputs into mitigation plans.
• Actively design and govern end-to-end continuous improvement programs bridging tactical defect management with strategic risk modeling.
• Act as a senior coach to operations teams, providing analytical tooling to scale Six Sigma initiatives.
• Conduct advanced statistical and Six Sigma training for site leads.
