In this role, you’ll be a trusted quality partner to manufacturing, engineering, and program team - leading investigations, influencing decisions, and turning data into action. You’ll play a critical role in both day‑to‑day quality execution and future‑focused initiatives, including new product introductions, where proactive risk prevention and disciplined problem‑solving are key.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys ownership, thrives in complexity, and wants to make a visible impact on product and process quality.

International’s IC Bus Plant runs a 4x10 production schedule (Mon‑Thurs, 5:00AM – 3:30PM). This role will support production and may need to cover production recovery times including Fridays and weekends as needed.

• Actively participate in product design reviews and program discussions to surface risks early and ensure they are addressed
• Develop, implement, and continuously improve quality methods, procedures, and equipment to strengthen product and process capability
• Provide technical quality expertise to support certification efforts, cost reduction initiatives, and warranty improvement
• Lead PFMEA sessions and process risk assessments for new product introductions, ensuring risks are proactively mitigated
• Identify process vulnerabilities and establish measurement routines for critical parts and characteristics
• Promote a preventive, risk‑based quality mindset that goes beyond deviation management and aligns with the “Profit and Loss - P&L Way”
• Monitor, analyze, and communicate key quality metrics, including defect rates and warranty trends
• Drive error‑proofing strategies and support the deployment of torque strategies for critical joints
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to ensure robust control plans are developed, implemented, and sustained

• Bachelor's degree and at least 2 years of Engineering, Reliability, or Quality Assurance experience
• Master's degree and at least 1 year of Engineering, Reliability, or Quality Assurance experience

We do not anticipate providing employment related work sponsorship for this position (e.g., H-1B status)

• Strong problem‑solving skills with experience using structured root cause analysis methodologies
• Hands‑on experience in manufacturing, quality, or product development environments
• Proficiency in data analysis and reporting tools such as Excel and Minitab
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, including GD&T - Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
• Confident communicator who can collaborate, influence, and build alignment across functions
• Self‑directed and comfortable working independently while managing complex priorities
• Curious, proactive mindset with a passion for continuous improvement and prevention
• Ability to build strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders
• Experience mentoring or providing informal guidance to peers is a plus
