This equipment powers medical devices, robotics, and defense systems. The customer list is why the quality bar is high, and why this seat carries real weight.

Pave Talent is hiring on behalf of our client, a growing US manufacturer of high-reliability power and energy products for medical, robotics, industrial, and defense applications. Their US production site is newer and expanding, and quality is scaling with it.

- Quality engineers who want the whole toolkit, from launch documentation to supplier corrective actions, not one narrow lane
- People who like the production floor: training operators, auditing lines, chasing root cause where the work happens
- Organized self-starters who keep their footing when priorities shift daily
If you prefer a specialized lane inside a large quality department, this is not your role.
๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฅ๐ง๐จ๐ก๐๐ง๐ฌ
You'll report to the Quality Manager and work side by side with the production team as the hands-on quality engineer for the site. The breadth is the draw: one role touching new product launches, supplier quality, investigations, audits, and nonconforming material decisions. That range builds a senior quality engineer's resume faster than a specialized seat.

- Write and maintain work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), control plans, and process failure mode and effects analyses (PFMEAs), and train production teams on them
- Drive the production part approval process (PPAP) for new product introductions, from documentation through validation and approval
- Lead root cause investigations using 8D, fishbone diagrams, 5 Whys, and Pareto analysis, and close out corrective actions
- Manage supplier quality through supplier corrective action requests (SCARs): detailed defect reports, root cause follow-through, and verification
- Develop and run incoming inspection, calibration, line validations, and process audits against International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001
- Lead material review board (MRB) review and disposition of nonconforming product
- Turn quality data into clear metrics and recommendations for management, primarily in Excel with pivot tables and charts
