Descrizione del lavoro

Ōura seeks a Senior Product Quality Manager to lead the quality program across NPI, manufacturing, and supply chain. You will ensure cosmetic and functional excellence for handheld/wearable products, partnering with design, engineering, and CM teams to drive robust quality systems and scalable manufacturing solutions.

You will champion quality through data-driven decisions, design for manufacturing, and rigorous process controls while traveling up to 50% to coordinate with global partners.

Competenze

• 7+ years of experience in a Product Quality, Supplier Manufacturing, Manufacturing Quality Engineer, or Process Engineer role.
• Experience in System Integration environments (FATP), bringing together mechanical enclosures and electronics into a final finished product.
• Experience with quality engineering in high volume handheld / wearable and/or consumer products manufacturing with high cosmetic standards.
• Experience qualifying and auditing manufacturing processes including PSA/HAF attach, epoxy dispense/molding/curing, and solder/hotbar/laser weld.
• Experience developing robust IQC / IPQC / OQC controls, including AOI & cosmetics, sampling plans, qualification criteria, SOP/MSOP, CQA, OBA, and dimensional control.
• Understanding of quality principles and tools such as GRR, CRR, SPC, FA/CA, FMEA, and DOEs.
• Understanding of manufacturing/design principles and tools such as DFM, GD&T, and Six Sigma methodologies for variability reduction.

Mansioni

• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) through FATP development builds, ramp-up, and product launch / mass production.
• Serve as the bridge between Design, Engineering, and Operations, translating complex technical risks into actionable business decisions to drive the company’s quality initiatives.
• Analyze build failure data to identify design and process marginalities, ensuring that yield loss is understood from a quality risk perspective, not just a volume perspective.
• Lead build readiness reviews, focusing on quality deliverables such as equipment readiness, process qualification, and post-build quality data analysis to understand system level interactions and assembly tolerance stackups that drive design and process improvements.
• Establish and enforce the standard for “premium” quality by defining cosmetic specifications, managing golden/limit samples, and aligning design, engineering, and factory teams on subjective criteria (fit, finish, and feel) early in the NPI process.
• Identify and effectively communicate design and process risks, using data-driven approaches to facilitate discussions and improvements across the company teams and suppliers.
• Analyze and evaluate data to establish appropriate sub-assembly / system level spec limits including cosmetic, dimensional, functional/reliability as well as establish process controls limits.
• Validate that CM processes produce units that meet cosmetic, reliability, and functional design intent.
• You are a technical leader who refuses to compromise on the user experience. You understand that “shippable” isn't just about passing a functional test, but about meeting the high aesthetic and reliability standards our customers expect.
