ABOUT THIS ROLE

As a Quality Engineer at LVT, you will play a key role in ensuring the performance, yield, and reliability of our production operations. Operating with moderate autonomy on the manufacturing floor, you will solve intermediate technical challenges across electro-mechanical assemblies, lead root-cause analysis, and help optimize automated test systems. Working closely with Manufacturing and Hardware Engineering, your analytical insights and hands-on execution will directly drive continuous improvement and overall process quality across our production lines.

This role is based full-time on-site out of our manufacturing facility in Spanish Fork, Utah, with no routine travel required.

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Investigate & Resolve Quality Issues: Perform root-cause analysis on recurring electromechanical component and assembly failures using standard methodology (e.g., 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone) to resolve Corrective Action Reports (CARs) and production deviations.
• Support Test Automation & Fixtures: Assist in designing, developing, and deploying automated test fixtures and equipment, utilizing basic software/scripting integration (such as Python or PLCs) to evaluate in-process and end-of-line performance.
• Execute Quality Risk Documentation: Support the creation, maintenance, and execution of Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) and establish clear testing protocols and acceptance criteria across production lines.
• Analyze & Monitor Production Data: Maintain automated data collection processes to track yield, defect Pareto metrics, and operational trends, converting raw data into actionable reports for Quality and Operations leadership.
• Optimize Line Efficiency: Evaluate testing procedures and cycle times to identify bottlenecks, driving process refinements that enhance first-pass yield without sacrificing safety or quality.
• Maintain Quality & Regulatory Compliance: Ensure manufacturing methods, testing workflows, and documentation strictly align with ISO 9001 standards, customer specifications, and internal governance.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with Manufacturing Engineering and Hardware Design teams to define acceptance criteria, support New Product Introductions (NPI), and ensure seamless quality handoffs.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Educational & Technical Foundation: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Electrical, or Automation Engineering (or equivalent practical experience).
• Relevant Industry Experience: 2-5 years of professional experience in a manufacturing environment, with hands-on exposure to automated test equipment and quality systems.
• Root Cause & Statistical Proficiency: Practical experience with Statistical Process Control (SPC), Six Sigma methodologies, and standard problem-solving techniques.
• Test & CAD Familiarity: Working knowledge of CAD software for fixture review/design (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and exposure to automation tools or scripting (e.g., PLC programming, Python).
• Electro-Mechanical Diagnostics: Strong foundational understanding of electrical circuits, wiring harnesses, mechanical assemblies, and diagnostic tools.
• Standards & Quality Systems: Solid working knowledge of ISO 9001 frameworks and formal Quality Management Systems (QMS).
• Communication & Work Ethic: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to summarize technical data clearly for cross-functional partners.
• Physical Work Requirements: Ability to work on-site on the active manufacturing floor, move throughout the facility (including bending, reaching, and kneeling), and occasionally lift up to 50 lbs.
