Drive Quality. Influence Outcomes. Make an Impact.

Are you passionate about solving complex problems, improving processes, and ensuring products exceed expectations? As a Quality Engineer, you won’t just maintain standards—you’ll shape them, playing a pivotal role in delivering excellence across our products, processes, and customer experience.

This is a high-impact opportunity for someone who thrives in a hands‑on manufacturing environment and enjoys collaborating across teams to turn data into meaningful improvements.

• Lead Quality Improvement
• Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to solve real‑world manufacturing challenges
• Analyze data trends (defects, scrap, rework) and translate insights into measurable improvements
• Manage product returns, customer concerns, and nonconformance programs to continuously elevate quality
• Build and Strengthen Quality Systems
• Develop and refine inspection standards, acceptance criteria, and decision logic aligned to engineering and customer requirements
• Establish effective inspection methods, sampling plans, and procedures to ensure consistency and reliability
• Define clear disposition criteria and escalation processes for nonconforming materials
• Collaborate Across Teams
• Partner with Engineering, Production, Supply Chain, and Suppliers to resolve quality issues and drive improvements
• Work directly with suppliers to ensure high‑quality incoming materials, including audits and corrective actions
• Support cross-functional initiatives that improve both product quality and operational efficiency
• Ensure Compliance and Excellence
• Maintain and enhance compliance with industry standards and customer requirements (including ASME BPE and sanitary manufacturing practices)
• Oversee inspection documentation, material traceability records (MTRs), and quality records
• Participate in internal and external audits, helping strengthen quality system effectiveness
• Support Tools & Continuous Growth
• Ensure proper calibration and functionality of measurement systems and inspection tools
• Train and mentor team members on quality processes and best practices
• Stay ahead of industry trends, regulations, and evolving quality standards

We’re looking for someone who combines technical expertise with a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing quality engineering
• Proven success in driving corrective actions to completion
• Experience developing inspection standards, acceptance criteria, and quality documentation
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret and act on quality data
• Hands‑on experience with inspection equipment (calipers, micrometers, profilometers, etc.)
• Knowledge of stainless steel fabrication processes (machining, welding, polishing)
• Familiarity with ASME BPE and/or sanitary manufacturing environments (preferred)
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams

• Make a visible impact:
  Your work directly influences product quality and customer satisfaction
• Own improvement initiatives:
  Lead meaningful change, not just maintain the status quo
• Cross‑functional exposure:
  Work with engineering, operations, and leadership
• Growth opportunity:
  Expand your technical and leadership skillset
• Collaborative culture:
  Your ideas are heard, valued, and acted upon

• We believe great quality comes from great people. You’ll thrive here if you:
• Value integrity, trust, and accountability
• Enjoy working in a team-oriented, collaborative environment
• Take initiative and bring forward ideas for improvement
• Communicate openly and respectfully
• Embrace challenges with creativity and courage

We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace. If you require accommodations to perform essential job functions under the ADA or applicable laws, we encourage you to request support—we’re here to help you succeed.

If you’re excited about solving problems, improving systems, and making a measurable impact, we’d love to hear from you.
