Quality Engineer
JOB SUMMARY
We are seeking a proactive, analytical Quality Engineer to drive continuous improvement and systemic quality excellence within a complex manufacturing environment.

PRIMARY POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES
Advanced Non-Conformance & CAPA Management: Lead the rapid disposition and closure of product and material non-conformances. Utilize standardized troubleshooting frameworks (DMAIC, Ishikawa, 5 Whys) to drive definitive root cause analysis and implement sustainable corrective actions that permanently reduce costs and defects.
QMS & ISO 9001 Leadership: Provide robust oversight of the ISO 9001 Quality Management System. Act as a primary driver for internal and external audit management, system maintenance, and the rigorous enforcement of quality standards.
Lean & Process Optimization: Champion Lean methodologies to eliminate waste, improve process velocity, and optimize inspection workflows. Utilize visual scoreboards and data reporting to track KPIs and drive continuous flow.
Inspection & Verification Execution: Conduct incoming, Work-in-Process (WIP), and final product inspections. Ensure strict adherence to mechanical specifications for small and large metal fabrications, machined parts, and ASME-coded pressure vessels.
Supplier Quality Integration: Conduct supplier assessments and source inspections (some travel required). Partner extensively with suppliers to resolve chronic performance issues, educating them on critical product requirements and advanced quality control.
Metrology & Standardization: Oversee calibration of equipment. Generate, maintain, and refine standardized work instructions for inspection and calibration processes.
Safety & Compliance: Actively promote a culture of health and safety for all personnel and equipment users, ensuring strict daily compliance with all company and regulatory safety standards.
SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES
Four-year degree in an appropriate technical discipline (e.g., Engineering).
A minimum of 3 to 5 years of quality engineering experience in a manufacturing environment.
Problem-Solving Rigor: Demonstrated expertise in Lean methodologies, Six Sigma frameworks (e.g., DMAIC), and advanced root cause analysis.
Technical Aptitude: Deep knowledge of mechanical inspection practices, metal fabrication processes, and ASME pressure vessel codes.
Systems Proficiency: Extensive familiarity with ISO 9001 standard management, audit execution, and QMS oversight.
