JOIN MILWAUKEE ELECTRONICS – OVER 70 YEARS OF INNOVATION & EXCELLENCE

Milwaukee Electronics is a contract electronics manufacturer with over 70 years of experience bringing innovations to life, from prototype to production. We operate as One Team, Take Ownership, Seek to Serve, and Go Beyond — and we’re looking for people who do the same.

About the Role

Quality doesn’t happen by accident at Milwaukee Electronics — it’s built in from the start. As a Quality Engineer at our Canby, OR facility, you’ll be embedded in the production process, partnering with Engineering, Operations, and our customers to make sure every product meets spec and every process keeps improving. You’ll own quality through NPI, configuration management, and production — leading root cause analysis, supporting supplier quality, and driving the kind of continuous improvement that keeps our customers coming back.

If you’re the type who can read an engineering drawing, run an internal audit, and present findings to a customer all in the same week, this role was built for you.

What You’ll Do

• Represent Quality through NPI, configuration management, and production activities
• Gather information from Engineering specs and work instructions to verify product conformance
• Ensure documentation is accurate, complete, and conforms to ISO standards
• Prepare and present customer‑specific Quality reports, including on‑site and web‑based presentations
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective action in collaboration with suppliers and internal teams
• Execute inspections and approvals to manufacturing specs, drawings, and performance requirements
• Perform internal audits of procedures and quality systems
• Support Supplier Quality activities to ensure receipt of conforming parts
• Initiate and champion continuous improvement and Lean principles across the organization

What You Bring

Required:

• 5+ years of experience as a Quality professional supporting both military and non‑military customers
• Bachelor’s degree in a technical, business, engineering, or management field; or 8+ years of equivalent experience
• Strong knowledge of quality standards and regulations including AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and APQP
• Proficiency with RCCA, PFMEA, CAPA, and QMS management
• Practical experience with measuring instruments used in quality inspection
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and ERP/statistical analysis applications
• Must have the legal, permanent right to work in the United States

Preferred:

• Knowledge of electronic systems, printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), and subassembly construction
• Familiarity with Six Sigma, Lean, and ISO frameworks
• ASQ CQE or CQM Certification

This is a 100% on‑site role at our Canby, OR manufacturing facility. You’ll work primarily in a professional office environment with regular presence on the production floor. PPE is required in production areas.
