Job description

Lead quality engineering for a modular manufacturing operation producing power and IT infrastructure systems. Own factory processes, supplier quality, and product inspections to embed quality in an engineer-to-order environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain manufacturing workmanship standards, work instructions, and quality plans for module and skid assembly in an engineer-to-order environment.

• Apply lean methodology to reduce variability, eliminate waste, and improve first-pass yield across multi-week build cycles.

• Analyze production workflows to identify defects, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement.

• Develop and maintain process FMEAs; monitor scrap rate, first-pass yield, cost of poor quality, and on-time shipment performance, and drive corrective initiatives.

• Own and administer the supplier pre-qualification and scorecard process for module manufacturers, custom steel fabricators, and component suppliers.

• Plan and execute supplier audits, manage corrective actions, and ensure readiness for customer supplier quality assessments.

• Track supplier performance on quality, delivery, and non-conformance/RMA history; maintain lot traceability requirements.

• Perform source inspection of modules and skids at supplier/fabricator facilities and receiving inspection at the facility, including structural and cosmetic weld inspections.

• Verify leak and pressure testing of enclosures and corrosion protection against specifications.

• Support customer factory witness testing and conduct final inspection and documentation sign-off on units before shipment or site delivery.

• Lead cross-functional root-cause investigations using structured methodologies (8D, 5-Why, Fishbone/Ishikawa) for internal and supplier-caused non-conformances.

• Facilitate process improvement workshops, Kaizen events, and track the effectiveness of corrective actions through data-driven verification.

Qualifications:

• BS in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, or related field preferred; equivalent demonstrated work experience considered in lieu of a degree.

• 8+ years of experience in quality, manufacturing, or a related field, ideally including both factory/process quality and supplier quality.

• Direct experience conducting root cause and corrective action investigations (8D or similar).

• Direct experience developing FMEAs and control plans.

• Experience qualifying and auditing suppliers/fabricators, including scorecard or checklist-based assessment methods.

• Strong analytical skills - comfortable working with data to identify trends and drive decisions.

• Experience applying lean methodology in a low-volume or engineer-to-order manufacturing environment.

• Willingness and ability to travel to supplier sites for source inspection and audits.

Preferred Skills:

• Working knowledge of metal fabrication and welding

• Working familiarity with AWS D1.1/D1.3 welding standards and CWI-inspected work.

• Experience with enclosure/module manufacturing (e-houses, skids, electrical/power equipment)

• Experience with leak/pressure testing and corrosion testing

• Lean/Six Sigma certification (Green or Black Belt), ASQ certification.

• Experience with MES/traceability systems and ERP-integrated quality modules.

• Excellent communication and cross-functional leadership skills.

You have 8+ years of quality and supplier experience. Proficient in FMEA, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions. Experienced with lean methods, welding standards, and traceability systems
