The TRG Manufacturing Search Division seeks a Quality Engineer to join a leading global OEM equipment manufacturer. This newly created role will support growing demand in the data center equipment market. This is a strategic role focused on operational excellence, quality systems development, and helping the plant build a stronger “Voice of Quality” as it continues to scale.



As a Quality Engineer, you will help drive a zero-defect culture across the plant by leading root cause analysis, strengthening control plans and FMEA processes, and improving first-time pass performance.

This role will work closely with production, engineering, suppliers, and European corporate teams to improve traceability, supplier quality, and process capability in a fast-paced engineered-to-order manufacturing environment.



This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to step into a visible plant-level quality role with the ability to influence culture, improve systems, and support growth in critical markets including data centers and industrial process equipment.



Background:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Science; Metallurgy, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related background preferred
  • 3 years of quality engineering experience in manufacturing
  • Hands-on experience with root cause analysis, CAPA, control plans, FMEA, and process improvement
  • APQP and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt experience preferred
  • Strong data skills with the ability to work across teams and turn findings into action



If you’re a hands-on quality professional who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, and helping build a true “Right First Time” culture, we’d love to hear from you—apply today!
