Quality Engineer

Our client is a global industrial manufacturer with a strong North American presence and is seeking a hands-on, high-impact Quality Engineer to drive product and process excellence within a complex manufacturing environment.

This is not a maintenance quality role — this is a problem-solving, KPI-driving, cross-functional leadership opportunity for someone who thrives in reducing field failures, lowering non-quality costs, and leading corrective action initiatives that stick.

If you enjoy digging into root cause, influencing production and engineering teams, and seeing measurable results from your work — this role delivers that platform.

• Drive reduction of Field Failures & Cost of Poor Quality
• Lead structured investigations using 8D, root cause analysis, and corrective action methodologies
• Develop and implement inspection and quality control plans
• Audit critical manufacturing processes and implement improvement initiatives
• Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain to solve systemic issues
• Analyze returned product failures and lead containment + long-term resolution plans
• Provide guidance and technical coaching to quality technicians
• Support pilot runs and sample validation initiatives
• Visit customer sites (as needed) to evaluate product performance and ensure application success

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (or equivalent industry experience)
• Background in manufacturing quality engineering
• Strong working knowledge of Lean / Six Sigma tools
• Experience leading structured quality investigations (8D required)
• ERP experience
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to influence without authority
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment
