Quality Engineer

Ready to help build parts that matter?

Pac Aero is looking for an experienced Quality Engineer to join our team in Agawam, MA. In this role, you’ll work directly with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Quality to ensure our products and processes meet the high standards required for critical aerospace and other high-reliability applications.

We’re looking for someone who brings hands‑on quality engineering experience in a precision manufacturing environment and understands quality beyond the paperwork — someone who can get out on the floor, investigate what happened, lead root cause and corrective action efforts, and work with the team to put sustainable solutions in place.

• Annual bonus opportunity
• 12 paid company holidays — including your birthday!
• Medical, dental, vision, disability coverage & more
• 401(k) with up to 4% company match
• Employer HSA contribution
• Separate PTO and sick time
• Employee events, celebrations and recognition throughout the year
• Stable, growing aerospace manufacturing environment with opportunities to develop your skills and career

At Pac Aero, we work hard, have fun, and get stuff done. We believe culture matters — from recognizing great work and celebrating wins to creating a place where people enjoy coming to work and feel like part of the team.

As a Quality Engineer, you’ll support manufacturing operations by ensuring products, processes, and quality systems meet internal, customer, and regulatory requirements. You’ll investigate quality issues, lead root cause and corrective action efforts, analyze quality data, and partner with teams across the business to improve processes and prevent problems from happening again.

This is a hands‑on quality role. You’ll spend time both at your desk and on the manufacturing floor, working directly with Manufacturing, Engineering, customers, and other members of the Quality team. From new product introductions and first article inspections to audits, corrective actions, and continuous improvement, you’ll play an important role in strengthening both product quality and manufacturing performance.

This is an experienced Quality Engineer role. We’re looking for someone who has worked directly in quality engineering within a regulated, precision manufacturing environment and can step into the role with a strong understanding of manufacturing quality systems and problem‑solving.

You should have hands‑on experience investigating nonconformances, leading root cause analysis and corrective actions, reading and interpreting engineering drawings and specifications, analyzing quality data, and working directly with Manufacturing and Engineering to resolve issues.

Experience in aerospace, defense, medical device, or another high‑reliability manufacturing environment is strongly preferred. Experience with AS9100, Nadcap, first article inspections, customer corrective actions, and processes such as CNC machining, plating, laser welding, or electronic packaging is especially valuable.

If you’re an experienced Quality Engineer who likes solving problems, asking why, working across functions, and improving the process instead of simply documenting the issue, we want to hear from you.

This is an onsite position with regular interaction across our manufacturing operations.

As part of a manufacturing environment supporting customer requirements, additional hours may occasionally be required based on business needs.
