Quality Engineer

We're Hiring:
Quality Engineer | New Orleans, Louisiana

Are you a hands-on Quality Engineer who enjoys solving manufacturing problems rather than sitting behind a desk?

Talent HRizon is partnering with a well-established, innovative global manufacturing company to identify a Quality Engineer for its manufacturing operations in Harahan, Louisiana.

This is an excellent opportunity for an early-to-mid-career engineer who enjoys being on the production floor, identifying the root causes of quality issues, improving manufacturing processes, and making a measurable impact on operational performance.

• Partner directly with manufacturing operations to improve product quality and reduce defects, scrap, and nonconformances.
• Lead root cause investigations and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Apply quality engineering tools such as PFMEA, SPC, control plans, 8D, and 5 Whys.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives and manufacturing process improvements.
• Serve as a key on-site quality engineering resource while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
• 2+ years of Quality Engineering or Process Engineering experience in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
• Strong hands-on experience working directly with manufacturing operations.
• Demonstrated ability to investigate manufacturing defects and solve complex problems.
• Experience with statistical analysis, quality systems, and continuous improvement.
• Backgrounds in plastics, extrusion, industrial equipment, food processing equipment, automotive components, or other discrete manufacturing environments are highly relevant.

• Competitive base salary based on qualifications and experience, plus applicable company benefits and incentives.

This is NOT an IT, software quality assurance, or software testing position. We are specifically seeking candidates with hands‑on manufacturing quality or process engineering experience.

Unfortunately, our client is unable to provide employment visa sponsorship at this time. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future employer sponsorship.

If you're a Quality Engineer or Manufacturing/Process Engineer who takes pride in solving problems, improving production performance, and making a difference on the plant floor, we'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
