Quality Manager

Are you a systems thinker who thrives on making things measurably better? We’re looking for a Quality Manager with a strong electronics manufacturing background to amplify our Quality team! This new role is a fundamental pillar of the expanding Quality group, enabling us to scale and sustain production of our rack-scale computer. You’ll work closely with design, manufacturing, and supplier teams to drive quality across every stage of the product lifecycle, from first article builds to customer deployments.

While Oxide is a remote-friendly company, we’ve found that being physically present during manufacturing is essential to building a great product and strong relationships. This role will require significant travel to our contract manufacturer in Minnesota and other suppliers as required.

Work closely with our suppliers to develop processes, procedures, and documentation for our product

Collaborate with Oxide and Bench Manufacturing Engineering to ensure test processes support quality initiatives

Review work instructions developed by the contract manufacturer to ensure our product is correctly assembled

Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions when issues arise in build or test, including component failures and process deviations.

Support first article builds, bring-up, and ongoing production, acting as a hands-on lead from prototype to scale.

Own Customer and Supplier Quality issues for the Electrical commodity group. This ranges from working with our Warranty and Customer Service team to address customer quality issues and following through with suppliers with Non-Conformance Reports (NCR).

Develop and maintain quality control plans, incoming inspection procedures, and in-process checks for complex electromechanical systems

Work with Oxide’s infrastructure team to develop a quality portal to communicate requirements to suppliers

Review test results and production data to identify trends, drive root cause analysis, and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs)

Collaborate with Contract Manufacturer Quality Engineers to resolve line-down issues with urgency.

Evaluate supplier capability, monitor incoming quality performance, and drive continuous improvement with key partners

Define and manage supplier qualification criteria, including PPAP/FMEA documentation where appropriate

Support on-site customer audits as required. Act as the quality liaison between Oxide engineering and external vendors for electronics-related issues

Participate in design reviews with a focus on inspection feasibility, failure modes, and long-term reliability

Help define meaningful quality metrics and implement scalable systems to track and act on them

Write and maintain clear quality documentation, from procedures and manuals, to issue trackers and failure reports

Build trusted relationships with hardware, software, and manufacturing teams to align on what “good” looks like and how we measure it

Have an engineering degree, background, or dispostion

Have subject matter expertise in electronics manufacturing

Have engaged on quality issues for server-related hardware

Have a track record of driving analysis and asking hard questions

Approach quality issues with urgency to identify problems and recommend solutions for internal/external teams

Have process knowledge to address product quality and supplier quality

Have experience working with contract manufacturers in the electronics industry focused on highly complex printed circuit board fabrication and assembly

Enjoy digging into technical data (schematics, datasheets, drawings) to provide recommendations to engineering teams to address quality issues

View quality as an enabling function to scaling a product urgently, without sacrificing rigor

Are comfortable with basic scripting, dashboards, or tools for automating data collection and quality analysis

Are energized by structure, rigor, and systems — but flexible enough to operate in an early-stage, fast-moving environment

Are curious, detail-oriented, and calm — while able to move forward – in the face of ambiguity or unexpected challenges

Value professional development in quality engineering, such as pursuing IPC-A-610, ASQ or Six…
