  • Manage the Engineering Change Notice (ECN) process and ensure quality procedures, inspection checklists, and training materials remain aligned with current product designs.
  • Monitor quality KPIs including First Pass Yield, defect rates, and scrap costs while providing updates to executive leadership and mentoring the quality team.

What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Business, or a related technical field.
  • 5-10 years of progressive quality experience in a manufacturing environment, including 1-3 years in a leadership role.
