UVeye Inc. is seeking a hands-on hardware quality leader to own product quality and field reliability across the full lifecycle—from supplier to customer site.

You will elevate UVeye’s Q&R function from the initial plan to a company-wide standard and ensure quality is designed in, measured, and owned end-to-end. You’ll lead Tier 1 EMS partner quality, supplier qualification, 8D/CAPA processes, and design-transfer activities, while driving installed-base reliability and data-driven improvements

Responsabilidades

• Set the quality bar for Tier 1 EMS partners: requirements, audits, scorecards, and reviews.
• Lead supplier qualification and certification, including second sources for critical components.
• Drive 8D, root-cause analysis and CAPA with CM and sub-vendors through closure.
• Define incoming inspection, FAI and acceptance criteria for full configurations.
• Own quality gates from DVT through production start and ramp-up.
• Join design reviews and DFMEA, and lead PFMEA, control plans, and design transfer.
• Hold in-house assembly to the same standard as contract manufacturing.

We’re looking for a hands-on hardware quality leader to own product quality and field reliability across the full lifecycle, from supplier to customer site. You’ll take UVeye’s Q&R function from its first formal plan to a company-wide standard. You’ll be the person who makes sure quality is designed in, measured, and owned end-to-end.

A day in the life and how you’ll make an impact

• Set the quality bar for Tier 1 EMS partners: requirements, audits, scorecards, and quarterly quality reviews.
• Lead supplier qualification and certification, including second sources for single-source and critical components.
• Drive 8D, root-cause analysis and CAPA with CMs and sub-vendors through to closure.
• Define incoming inspection, FAI and acceptance criteria for complete system configurations.
• Own quality gates from DVT through production start and ramp-up.
• Join design reviews and DFMEA, and lead PFMEA, control plans, and design transfer.
• Hold in-house assembly to the same standard as contract manufacturing.

Field Reliability

• Own installed-base reliability: failure rates, MTBF, repeat failures, RMA root cause, and reliability growth.
• Turn field service and system-health data into prioritized corrective actions for Engineering and HW, and into inputs for predictive maintenance.
• Co-define pre-dispatch checks and installation quality standards with Delivery & Support.
• Support customer uptime and system-performance SLAs.
• Own the Q&R plan and the ISO 9001–based QMS: certifications, document control, and continuous improvement across all functions and sites.
• Publish a weekly Q&R dashboard built from ERP, PLM and Salesforce data, and report directly to the COO.
• Be the escalation point for critical quality and reliability issues.
• Go to the line, to suppliers, and to customer sites yourself to find root causes and close them.
• Work closely with Supply Chain & Manufacturing, NPI & Engineering, HW, Delivery & Support, and Performance & Excellence.

What you bring

• 10+ years in quality and reliability for complex electro-mechanical hardware with embedded electronics, optics, and software, including 5+ years owning quality across suppliers, production, and the field.

• A track record of taking products through NPI into volume production, including FAI, PFMEA, control plans, and ramp-up.
• Hands-on supplier quality experience: audits, qualification, second-source certification, and 8D closure.
• Field reliability experience with an installed base: failure analysis, RMA, MTBF, and warranty data.
• Experience building or running an ISO 9001 QMS.
• Strong data skills, including building dashboards from ERP, PLM and CRM data.
• Excellent English and the ability to influence across functions and countries.
• B.Sc. in Industrial, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Willingness to travel about 25–30%, including internationally.

Nice-to-have:

• ASQ CRE, ASQ CQE, or Six Sigma Black Belt.
• Experience building a Q&R function from the ground up at a scaling hardware company.
