Quality Engineer

Job Summary

Manager Name: Jared Tee

Date: 06/03/2026

Business Case: Hiring 1 full-time employee as backfill for the Quality Engineer role in Production.

Problem Statement

Critical quality functions, including ISO 9001 compliance, audit coordination, corrective action management, and production quality support—would lack clear ownership and consistency after the promotion of Jared Tee. This gap increases operational and compliance risk and undermines the organization’s ability to maintain audit readiness, product quality, and customer confidence.

Proposed Solution

Recruit a full-time Quality Engineer as a backfill to:

• Maintain clear ownership of the Quality Management System, ISO 9001 compliance, audit coordination, and corrective action processes.
• Ensure quality responsibilities remain focused and consistent within Operations, mitigating compliance risk and supporting stable production and audit readiness.
  
  

Benefits

• Sustained ISO compliance
• Clear role separation and operational focus
• Improved production quality and issue resolution
  
  

Cost-Benefit Analysis

The healthy range for this role is $67-74k USD, as we are looking for a candidate with 5 years of Quality experience including oversight of the Quality Management System, coordinating ISO 9001 compliance audits, and Root Cause Analysis.

I’m requesting our top compensation to be $72k USD for this role with a bonus factor of 0.20 which is equitable across the department and this individual contributor role.

Conclusion

Backfilling the Quality Engineer role preserves consistent ownership of the Quality Management System. A dedicated resource enables timely resolution of quality issues and reduces risk associated with fragmented accountability. This allows Operations leadership to remain focused on execution while quality oversight remains objective and clearly assigned.
