Sanmina Corporation (Nasdaq: SANM) is a global powerhouse in integrated manufacturing solutions serving the fastest growing segments of the global Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) market. We are a global engine providing the end-to-end manufacturing backbone for the world's most essential and innovative brands. Whether it's autonomous vehicles, life-saving medical tech, next-gen aerospace, or AI/cloud infrastructure - our integrated solutions don’t just meet standards—they redefine them.

What You'll Do

The Quality Engineer is responsible for developing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving product and manufacturing quality controls supporting data center hardware, battery energy storage systems (BESS), transformer components, power distribution equipment, bus bars, and data center cooling systems.

The position provides quality engineering support across sheet metal and structural fabrication, CNC machining, copper and aluminum bus bar manufacturing, pipe/tube fabrication, welding and brazing, chemical pretreatment, powder coating/painting, mechanical/electromechanical assembly, testing, and final product acceptance.

The Quality Engineer works closely with Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, Welding Engineering, Painting/Chemical Engineering, Automation, Tooling, NPI, Design Engineering, Supply Chain, Supplier Quality, and the QMS Coordinator to ensure products and processes consistently meet customer, engineering, regulatory, and internal requirements.

The primary objective is to establish quality at the source, preventing defects through capable processes and effective controls rather than relying primarily on final inspection.

• Serve as the primary Quality Engineering resource for assigned products, processes, customers, or manufacturing areas.
• Develop and implement product and process quality controls.
• Ensure manufacturing requirements are translated into clear inspection and acceptance criteria.
• Monitor manufacturing quality performance and identify emerging risks.
• Lead technical investigations into recurring defects and process variation.
• Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to improve process capability.
• Drive permanent corrective actions rather than repeated containment and inspection.
• Support production with timely disposition and technical direction for quality issues.
• Promote quality ownership at the source throughout manufacturing.
• Support quality planning for new and existing products using applicable APQP principals.
• Lead or facilitate Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis with cross-functional teams.
• Develop and improve measurement systems.
• Implement SPC where appropriate for critical or high-volume processes.
• Conduct and interpret process capability studies using metrics such as Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in: Quality Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Materials Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Typically 3–7+ years of Quality Engineering or manufacturing engineering experience.
• Experience in complex manufacturing environments strongly preferred.
• Experience with metal fabrication, welding, coating, mechanical assembly, or electromechanical products highly desirable.
• Demonstrated experience with root-cause analysis and corrective action.
• Experience with PFMEA, Control Plans, SPC, MSA, and process capability preferred.
• Experience supporting NPI and production ramp-up desirable.
• Experience with data center infrastructure, energy storage, transformers, power distribution, cooling systems, or similar industrial products is beneficial.

How to Stand Out

• ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE)
• Lean Six Sigma Green Belt
• Lean Six Sigma Black Belt
• ISO 9001 Internal Auditor
• AWS CWI for welding-intensive assignments
• GD&T certification/training
