About Our Client

Our client works closely with automotive manufacturers that depend on high‑volume parts they can trust-without delays or unexpected issues. Injection molding is their core expertise, delivered with precision, consistency, and a strong emphasis on performance. Their globally connected teams support programs from early design collaboration through full-scale production. They understand the realities of automotive manufacturing: compressed timelines, rigorous quality requirements, and no margin for error. That's why they maintain close customer relationships, communicate clearly, and respond quickly when challenges arise. Quality is central to everything they do, supported by the right technology, robust processes, and experienced teams who take ownership at every stage. Every part is engineered for real-world conditions, not just to meet specifications. Customers choose them for their practical approach, reliability, and ease of collaboration

Job Description

  • Lead, coach, and develop the quality team, inspectors, engineers, and technicians
  • Own the quality management system and keep it fully compliant with IATF 16949
  • Act as the main customer contact for all quality topics, including complaints and audits
  • Drive root cause analysis using tools like 8D, 5 Why, and Fishbone, then make sure actions stick
  • Partner with production to improve processes, reduce defects, and prevent repeat issues
  • Oversee APQP, PPAP, control plans, PFMEAs, and change management activities
  • Review quality data daily and turn trends into clear, practical actions
  • Prepare and lead internal, customer, and third-party audits
  • Escalate risks early and push for solutions that protect the customer and the business
