Location: Florence, KY (On-site role with limited travel)
Our Florence, KY site supports high-growth AI and cloudinfrastructure customers, spanning server and rack integration, and datacenter liquidcooling technologies, where quality, speed, and traceability
are essential.
How will you make an impact?
We are seeking an experienced Quality Engineer IV to serve as the senior quality leader supporting advanced manufacturing of liquidcooled servers and Racks. This role ensures that all products, processes, and systems meet customer, regulatory, and internal quality standards throughout the full product lifecyclefrom New Product Introduction (NPI) through volume production and sustaining.
This senior individual contributor role applies advanced technical judgment to drive quality strategy across NPI through sustaining, leading systemic improvements in manufacturing processes, and influencing engineering, supplier, and customer decisions across the full value stream. This role delivers measurable gains in yield, compliance, and product quality in a fastpaced, highconstraint environment. This role requires strong analytical capability, hands on engagement on the production floor, and expertise in quality tools, validation, and risk mitigation.
What will you do?
You will lead problem-solving activities, establish robust quality controls, drive continuous improvement, and partner with external and internal cross functional teams (Process Engineering, Test Engineering, Manufacturing) to ensure high levels of quality, safety, and performance for liquid cooled assemblies and full rack systems to include the below:
Customer Requirements Review:
Own customer requirement traceability and risk mitigation across the full product lifecycle ensuring compliance with all the requirements that include but may not be limited to, BOM review, Specifications (Cosmetic, Technical Etc.), and Incoming Quality Criteria(s).
QMS leadership:
Liquid Cooling:
Define and enforce incoming quality criteria for liquidcooling assemblies, including pressuretest and leaktest acceptance limits to ensure system integrity and compliance with industry standards and customer quality specifications.
Develop and maintain leakprevention quality protocols, including pressuretesting at incoming and leak test procedures, and sensorbased leak monitoring.
Validate coolant fill, purge, and filtration processes to ensure coolingloop cleanliness, stability, and longterm reliability.
Audit and verify cooling and fluidhandling processes to ensure they meet quality, efficiency, safety, and sustainability targets while preventing contamination and reducing variation.
Lead CriticaltoQuality (CTQ) analysis and collaborate on PFMEA and control plan activities for all liquidcooling and fluidhandling stages to proactively identify failure modes and implement robust quality controls.
Oversee the quality lifecycle of process and test equipment, including qualification, commissioning, calibration, performance verification, issue of troubleshooting, and upgrade validation.
NPI 1212 Ramp:
Own quality function throughout the product life cycle for various products including but not limited to Liquid cooling assemblies, from Kick off to ramp and sustaining. Identify CTQs, Create Control Plans, PFMEA; execute MSA/GR&R; verify process capability (Cp/Cpk), perform FAI activities, and support lessonslearned reviews for current and future launches. Review DfA to mitigate risks prior to building.
In-line quality & yield:
Establish SPC on critical processes; track FPY, DPPM, escapes; deploy mistake-proofing (poka-yoke); drive structured containment when signals drift.
Supplier quality:
Define Incoming Inspection Criteria, definition based on Jabil and Customer requirements from the NPI standpoint. Support Supplier Quality with CTQ identification, material storage process, and supplier qualifications as needed.
Customer:
Lead 8D/A3 investigations on returns/complaints; implement CAPA and close the loop with clear, data-driven communication to customer quality teams. In Parallel, identify gaps and drive actions for closure while working with cross functional teams and customers as needed.
Digital quality:
Automate data flow from MES/ERP/; build live dashboards/alerts; use control-chart behavior to recommend corrective actions.
Docs & Training:
Publish procedures and one-point lessons; train operators/techs on critical quality features, audit discipline, and error-proofing. Understand and Translate Customer and regulatory requirements into Internal Work Instructions, Visual Aids, and other applicable documents.
Partner with EHS and Quality Systems to establish and enforce SOPs covering leakmitigation practices, coolant handling, chemical safety, waste management, and environmental compliance.
Cross Function Leadership:
Partner with cross functional teams (Safety, Test, Industrial and Process Engineering, Maintenance) to identify quality risks, implement data driven improvements, and drive higher performance across the full Liquid cooling system value stream.
How We Will Measure Success
FPY/yield 12 and DPPM 12 quarter-over-quarter.
Zero major audit findings.
CTQs Green at launch.
Verified CAPA effectiveness; recurrence rate 12.
COPQ (scrap/rework/returns) trending 12 with quantified savings.
CCAR closure lead time 12.
Work Model & Travel
On-site at Florence, KY integration and test lines, supplier, and customer visits up to ~1520% as needed.
Expect frequent collaboration with Manufacturing/Process, Test, SQE, NPI/PM, Industrial Engineering, and Customer Quality.
