Quality Engineer

• Investigate production defects, test failures and nonconforming materials; coordinate containment, disposition and corrective actions.
• Monitor first-pass yield, line fallout, scrap and rework; develop practical inspection criteria and acceptance standards.
• Support first-article inspection, manufacturing process qualification and production readiness for new or revised products.
• Lead structured investigations of internal failures, field issues and returned products (RMAs), partnering with technicians for failure analysis.
• Document root causes and drive corrective/preventive actions using 5 Why, fishbone or 8D; verify effectiveness and prevent recurrence.
• Identify systemic quality trends and communicate findings to Engineering and Operations.
• Participate in design reviews and engineering-to-production handoffs; verify test plans, inspection needs and release documentation.
• Support ECOs, deviations, controlled work instructions and traceability of approved product changes.
• Investigate supplier component defects; coordinate supplier corrective actions, incoming inspection and qualification activities.
• Maintain quality records, inspection reports and corrective-action evidence; support audits and applicable UL/CSA requirements, including UL 458 where relevant.
• Improve manufacturing quality processes and help reduce warranty claims, repeat failures and cost of poor quality.

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology or related technical discipline; 2–5 years in quality, manufacturing or related engineering.
• Experience with electrical/electronic assemblies, PCBAs or electromechanical products; ability to interpret drawings, schematics and specifications.
• Working knowledge of root cause analysis, corrective actions, inspection practices and technical documentation.
• Strong analytical and communication skills; willingness to work hands-on in manufacturing and laboratory settings.

Preferred

• Power electronics, inverters or chargers; UL 458 or other product safety standards; ISO 9001; IPC workmanship standards.
• FMEA, control plans, SPC, Lean Six Sigma, supplier quality and use of common electrical test equipment.

Improved first-pass yield; fewer production and supplier defects; lower repeat RMAs and warranty failures; timely and effective corrective-action closure; quality readiness of new products.
