Preferred Experience

• Customer‑facing quality experience (handling concerns, reporting, follow‑up)
• Hands‑on exposure to PFMEA, Control Plans, and inspection/measurement planning
• Experience with customer‑specific requirements (CSRs)
• Strong problem‑solving and statistical analysis skills
• Background supporting internal/customer audits and layered audits

This role is based in a manufacturing environment and requires time on the production floor. Physical requirements may include standing/walking for extended periods and lifting up to 25–50 lbs as needed.

• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
