Quality Engineer

Salary Range: $60,000.00 To $70,000.00 Annually

At Master Mold LLC, quality is not a checkbox. It is how we protect our customers, our processes, and our reputation. We manufacture high-quality fiberglass and composite products in a fast-paced, hands‑on manufacturing environment where engineering judgment, problem‑solving, process control, and ownership matter every day.

We are looking for a 1st Shift Quality Engineer to join our Mauston, Wisconsin facility
. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the manufacturing process, working directly with production and engineering teams, and solving real manufacturing problems.

As a Quality Engineer, you will serve as a key technical quality resource for the Mauston facility. You will support production, drive corrective actions, improve process performance, strengthen our quality systems, and help ensure that customer and product requirements are consistently met.

This is not a “clipboard quality” position. You will be expected to spend time where the work is happening, investigate issues firsthand, collaborate across departments, and help turn quality concerns into practical, sustainable improvements.

If you want your work to have a visible impact and your ideas to be heard, Master Mold is the place to do it.

Create, update, and maintain PPAP documentation, Control Plans, PFMEAs, process flow diagrams, inspection instructions, quality alerts, and related core quality documents.

Assist with maintaining compliance with customer‑specific requirements, internal quality procedures, document control expectations, and manufacturing quality standards.

Identify quality risks, process inefficiencies, recurring defects, and opportunities for improvement throughout the manufacturing process.

Partner directly with production, engineering, maintenance, and leadership to investigate issues and develop practical solutions that improve quality, reduce scrap, strengthen process capability, and prevent repeat problems.
