Job summary

Amazon is seeking a Quality Engineer to join our Quality Engineering organization in North Reading, MA. You will execute the quality strategy across development to high-volume production, helping build and maintain the quality management system for advanced hardware products.

You will work with a multi-disciplinary team of Quality Control, Supplier Quality, Metrology, and Quality Technicians to ensure defects are tracked, analyzed, and driven out of the process through data-driven actions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or STEM field.
• 7+ years of quality engineering experience in electromechanical or precision hardware environments.
• Experience with APQP/PPAP, DFMEA/PFMEA, control plans, and core quality tools (SPC, MSA, 8D, 5-Why).
• Experience with metrology or dimensional inspection functions (CMM, optical measurement, gauge calibration).
• Experience with MRB processes and non-conformance disposition.
• Ability to influence product and process design through data-driven quality arguments.
• Experience in high-mix or evolving product environments where quality systems adapt to design iterations.

Responsibilities

• Support the development and maintenance of the Quality Management System (QMS), including control plans, inspection standards, and procedures for pilot to high-volume production.
• Execute IQC, in-process inspection, and final product acceptance; support MRB for non-conforming material disposition.
• Maintain quality data systems for defects, yields, escapes, and corrective actions; use data to identify trends and drive improvements.
• Participate in DFMEAs/PFMEAs; provide feedback on manufacturability, process capability, and quality risk to design teams.
• Support quality readiness for New Product Introductions (NPI); apply design-for-quality principles early in development.
• Execute MSA, CpK/PpK studies, and validation protocols to qualify new products and processes.
• Conduct root cause analysis (8D, 5-Why, Fishbone) for defects and customer escapes; drive containment and corrective actions.
• Track quality metrics (DPPM, first pass yield, escape rate) and lead cross-functional problem solving.
