This equipment powers medical devices, robotics, and defense systems. The customer list is why the quality bar is high, and why this seat carries real weight. ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ฌ Pave Talent is hiring on behalf of our client, a growing US manufacturer of high-reliability power and energy products for medical, robotics, industrial, and defense applications. Their US production site is newer and expanding, and quality is scaling with it. ๐ช๐ต๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ - Quality engineers who want the whole toolkit, from launch documentation to supplier corrective actions, not one narrow lane - People who like the production floor: training operators, auditing lines, chasing root cause where the work happens - Organized self-starters who keep their footing when priorities shift daily If you prefer a specialized lane inside a large quality department, this is not your role. ๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฅ๐ง๐จ๐ก๐๐ง๐ฌ You'll report to the Quality Manager and work side by side with the production team as the hands-on quality engineer for the site. The breadth is the draw: one role touching new product launches, supplier quality, investigations, audits, and nonconforming material decisions. That range builds a senior quality engineer's resume faster than a specialized seat. ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ'๐๐ ๐ข๐ช๐ก - Write and maintain work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), control plans, and process failure mode and effects analyses (PFMEAs), and train production teams on them - Drive the production part approval process (PPAP) for new product introductions, from documentation through validation and approval - Lead root cause investigations using 8D, fishbone diagrams, 5 Whys, and Pareto analysis, and close out corrective actions - Manage supplier quality through supplier corrective action requests (SCARs): detailed defect reports, root cause follow-through, and verification - Develop and run incoming inspection, calibration, line validations, and process audits against International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 - Lead material review board (MRB) review and disposition of nonconforming product - Turn quality data into clear metrics and recommendations for management, primarily in Excel with pivot tables and charts ๐ค๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ: - 2 to 4 years of quality experience in a manufacturing environment - Hands-on measurement and visual inspection skills - Statistical data analysis in Excel, including pivot tables and charts - Working knowledge of ISO 9001 standards and practices - Organized, detail-driven, and steady under deadlines ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐๐: - Validation knowledge for installation, operational, and performance qualification (IQ, OQ, PQ) - ISO 9001 auditing experience or auditor certification - Background in battery or energy storage manufacturing ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ง๐ฆ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐: $70,000 to $80,000, placed by experience ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐น๐ฒ: Full-time, on-site ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ณ๐ถ๐๐: Full details shared on our first call Interested?
