  • Develop project-specific quality plans and critical-to-quality (CTQ) requirements
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives focused on warranty reduction and product improvement
  • Coordinate efforts with Project Management Office (PMO), Engineering, Test Lab, Quality, and Sales teams
  • Lead structured problem-solving activities (8D, 3L5 Why, Affinity Brainstorming)
  • Ensure corrective actions are fully closed and validated for effectiveness
  • Serve as a technical liaison for customers and field service teams, including on-site support as needed for containment and countermeasures
  • Develop dashboards and reporting tools for warranty trends and project risk visibility
  • Travel up to 40%

Role Accountabilities:

  • Maintain visibility of warranty trends and emerging risks
  • Use field data to inform engineering and business decisions
  • Prevent repeat failures through effective root cause and corrective action processes
  • Connect warranty performance with design intent and execution outcomes
  • Drive accountability across multiple functions


Skills and Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Industrial Engineering and 3–7 years of related experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience
  • ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) or equivalent certification preferred
  • Strong understanding of mechanical systems, weldments, and fabrication processes
  • Experience with failure analysis and root cause investigation techniques
  • Proficiency in structured problem-solving and quality tools including 8D, A3, CAPA, PFMEA, DFMEA, Control
  • Plans, and Inspection Plans
  • Strong cross-functional leadership and communication skills
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office 365, with strong Excel skills required
  • Ability to interpret engineering drawings and GD&T
  • Mechanical aptitude with ability to assemble and disassemble components per drawings
  • Experience working within a PMO structure (CAPM or equivalent experience preferred)
  • Experience with data and statistical tools such as Minitab, SAS JMP, macro-enabled Excel, or Power BI preferred
