Quality systems and audits

• Lead internal audits, host customer and third-party audits, and drive timely closure of findings to maintain ISO 9001 compliance
• Lead supplier quality, including qualification, SCARs, audits, and incoming inspection criteria
• Create and revise SOPs, technical documentation, and quality standards

Results and mentorship

• Analyze KPI and cost of poor quality data (scrap, FPY, yield, rework, returns) and build business cases for improvement projects
• Lead Lean and Six Sigma initiatives with measurable targets
• Mentor Quality Engineers, inspectors, and production personnel
• Partner with Operations, Engineering, R&D, Maintenance, and Supply Chain, and present quality results to leadership

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Quality, Mechanical, Industrial, Materials, or Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
• 5+ years of progressive experience as a Quality Engineer or similar role in manufacturing
• Demonstrated experience leading root cause investigations, SPC, FMEA, and process validation
• Hands-on experience with QMS and ISO 9001, with ISO 9001 internal auditor training required (lead auditor certification is a plus)
• Strong command of engineering drawings and GD&T
• Proficiency in statistical analysis and tools such as Minitab or JMP, plus Microsoft Office and quality systems software
• Strong decision-making and risk assessment, and the ability to influence without direct authority
• Clear communication with everyone from inspectors to executives
• ASQ CQE or Lean Six Sigma Green or Black Belt preferred
• Experience mentoring engineers, technicians, or inspectors preferred
• Willingness to work off hours or off-shifts to meet deadlines
• Ability to pass an E-Verify background check

The Senior Quality Engineer position works in a combination of settings, from office and lab to a safety-sensitive manufacturing environment. The Senior Quality Engineer will often work directly on the shop floor, near and around large-scale production processes and equipment, to interact with production teams and observe processes. The position may also work with Research and Development (R&D) and Quality Control Testing to design and develop new manufacturing processes, tests, and experiments that improve product design and production methods and ensure product quality and compliance with standards. The position will spend time in the quality control lab testing, documenting, analyzing data, creating instructions, and collaborating with others. Occasionally, the Senior Quality Engineer will participate in on-site visits to suppliers, vendors, or customer sites to review quality issues or assess material or tooling quality and performance. Occupational health and safety practices are essential in manufacturing environments; the Senior Quality Engineer is expected to adhere to safety protocols and wear appropriate protective equipment when necessary.
