What are the responsibilities and job description for the Data Quality Specialist position at Instrumental Inc.?

Instrumental technology is used by the world’s most admired electronics brands, such as NVIDIA, Cisco, and Meta, to accelerate new product development and improve production yields. Our technology leverages AI to process data generated on the manufacturing floor, automating failure identification and resolution, improving yield, quality, and time-to-market. In the past few quarters, our technology has become mission-critical for AI server manufacturers. We’re rapidly growing our global presence to enable deeper integrations into our customers’ complex manufacturing environments.

We’re seeking a Data Quality Specialist to join our team and help scale our ability to deliver world-class manufacturing AI solutions. This role will have a direct impact on the quality of results our customers see in the Instrumental platform.

This role is ideal for a professional with a background in manufacturing or quality control. As a Data Quality Specialist, you will play a hands-on role in reviewing and analyzing customer image data in our application to ensure high-quality outcomes.

Come join us if you are meticulous and passionate about improving electronics manufacturing and love working with a global team. The ideal candidate is multi-faceted, technically savvy, organized, and deeply customer-oriented.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Set-Up Customer Program Environment: Partner with a global customer success team to ensure high-quality data ingestion post-deployment by preparing the customer environment for anomaly and defect detection. Avoid errors that could undermine AI model performance or user experience.
  • Label and Review Data: Classify product images accurately and consistently, ensuring high-quality training data for our AI models.
  • Maintain Quality Standards: Follow established guidelines and processes to avoid errors that could degrade model performance.
  • Data Reporting: Clean and refine customer image data for immediate use in summary reports. This process involves reviewing photos, summarizing key defect trends and patterns, and generating program ROI reports.
  • Process Improvement and Issue Escalation: Maintain process discipline by following established workflows. Proactively identify and flag unusual data patterns, environment changes (like new SKUs or lighting issues), or ambiguous cases, escalating them to senior team members to ensure the best possible results.

What You Have

  • 1-2 years of work experience in a manufacturing, process or mechanical engineering or quality inspection role, ideally in the high tech electronics industry.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to perform repetitive tasks consistently and accurately.
  • Solid interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Technically savvy and eager to learn new systems and tools.
  • Ability to learn quickly, follow structured processes, and apply feedback to improve program results.
