Manufacturing Quality Engineer BotQ

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Own quality on assigned in-house assembly lines, such as battery pack assembly and final robot assembly.
• Define control plans, in-process and end-of-line quality checks, and drive them toward automated inspection and data capture by the start of mass production.
• Monitor first-pass yield and defect Paretos, apply SPC where it adds control, and lead the daily quality response on the line.
• Lead manufacturing line audits covering process, specifications, tooling and gauges, data recording, and operator training.
• Act as the quality voice on next-generation robot builds: review process flows with Manufacturing Engineering, and author and maintain PFMEAs and control plans ahead of each build phase.
• Translate DFMEA severity and safety-critical classifications into process controls, and feed design gaps back to the design teams.
• Define quality line-readiness criteria and sign off readiness for prototype builds through start of production.
• Own failure analysis on field returns and remanufactured units: structured failure coding, teardown, and root cause using 8D, 5-Why, and fishbone analysis.

Job requirements

• 7+ years of experience in quality engineering in high-volume electromechanical manufacturing (automotive, consumer electronics, robotics, or similar).
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Hands-on experience authoring PFMEAs and control plans and carrying them from NPI into production.
• Structured problem-solving experience with 8D, 5-Why, fishbone analysis, and formal corrective action processes.
• GD&T knowledge and the ability to interpret complex technical drawings.
• Statistical analysis and SPC using tools such as JMP or Minitab, and the ability to build dashboards from inspection and test data.
• Experience with robotic systems, automation, or complex electromechanical assemblies.
• Track record of working on the production floor directly with operators, manufacturing engineering, and design teams.
