Quality & Manufacturing Engineering

If you don't believe your experience matches any of our current openings, but you’re still interested in building with us, we encourage you to reach out at  .

At Meter, our brand reputation is built on product reliability and seamless execution. As a brand owner partnering with external JDMs, we do not just buy manufacturing capacity — we actively govern it. This hybrid Quality & Manufacturing Engineering role is the vital technical bridge between our internal R&D teams and our manufacturing partners. You will not be micromanaging assembly lines or designing fixtures from scratch;

instead, you will own supplier governance. By establishing razor-sharp quality metrics, aligning internal engineering specs with vendor control plans, and turning the factory floor from a "black box" into a data-driven operation, you directly safeguard our brand's bottom line and ensure our products reach customers flawlessly and on time.

We are in a pivotal phase of growth that involves scaling new product introductions. A standard engineer who only checks boxes won’t suffice; we need an exceptional gatekeeper who can influence without authority, command the respect of our partners' engineering teams, and anticipate production risks before they cause delivery delays. The cost of a single quality escape or a botched factory migration is steep — it strains our internal R&D resources with firefighting and delays our future product roadmaps.

By bringing your deep technical acumen, rigorous root-cause analysis, and vendor management expertise to Meter, you will unburden our design teams, build a robust quality culture across our supply chain, and serve as the ultimate guardian of our product integrity.

In your first six months at Meter, success means moving our external manufacturing relationships from a reactive footing to proactive, data-driven governance. You will have successfully embedded yourself as the definitive technical gatekeeper at our partner sites.

Specifically, you will be expected to drive and deliver the following three measurable results within your first 6 months:

• Standardize JDM Quality Governance & Zero-Ambiguity Specs:
  You will establish the first baseline matrix for our JDM partners' First-Pass Yield and deploy a standardized reporting dashboard. By aligning 100% of Meter’s internal engineering specifications with the partner’s manufacturing Control Plans, you will eliminate all gray areas in cosmetic and functional quality expectations.
• Execute a Flawless Line Setup:
  You will successfully manage the line setup with zero critical quality escapes to customers. You will ensure 100% validation of critical tooling, fixtures, and testing stations, securing a successful site qualification audit on the first attempt.
• Stabilize Line Performance:
  Within 4 to 6 weeks following the line setup, you will drive their engineering teams to resolve early assembly bottlenecks, bringing the new line's First-Pass Yield up to match or exceed our production baseline.

If you are looking for a desk job where you just read reports, this isn’t it. You won't be soldering components or writing code, but you will be the ultimate orchestrator of our manufacturing reality. You will be juggling the immediate needs of an active production line with the long-term quality strategy for our next-generation products.

Here is what a typical day looks like:

• Own the Quality Baseline: You’ll be the pulse of our manufacturing quality, establishing the automated dashboards, FPY thresholds, and gating metrics that keep our JDM partners honest and aligned with Meter’s high standards.
• Bridge the Gap with Manufacturing Partners: Act as our primary technical voice on the shop floor,…
