Noble Biomaterials, Inc is currently seeking a Quality Engineering Technician on our 2nd shift (12pm-8pm). The Quality Engineering Technician (QA Technician) is a hands-on, manufacturing-focused quality role that provides real-time support to daily production operations. This position is embedded on the production floor and partners closely with Fabric Operations, Process Engineering, and Production to reinforce quality procedures, support inspection and disposition decisions, and ensure accurate and compliant documentation. This role is critical to supporting the expansion to two-shift fabric manufacturing and serves as the primary quality presence on the production floor during second shift. This is not a laboratory role—the focus is on manufacturing execution, quality discipline, and operational decision-making.

What You'll Do:

• Serve as the primary Quality Assurance representative on the production floor during second shift.
• Support fabric inspection activities, including visual inspections, in-process checks, and disposition decisions in accordance with approved procedures and specifications.
• Partner with the Fabric Quality Engineer, QE Manager, Operations, and Process Engineering on day-to-day quality decisions.
• Reinforce adherence to approved work instructions, control plans, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Monitor quality performance trends and assist with root cause analysis and failure investigations.
• Utilize quality tools (InfinityQS, JMP, Decision Logs) to analyze performance trends and document deviations.

Documentation & Good Documentation Practices (GDP)

• Ensure accurate, complete, and timely completion of batch records, travelers, inspection records, and manufacturing documentation in compliance with GDP requirements.
• Review documentation for accuracy, completeness, and compliance prior to escalation or release.
• Verify that process documentation reflects current manufacturing practices and escalate discrepancies as needed.

Operational & Cross-Functional Support

• Support Operations and Process Engineering with real-time issue identification, containment actions, and production floor feedback.
• Assist with the implementation and reinforcement of approved process changes and procedural updates.
• Act as a quality liaison between shifts to ensure continuity of communication, issues, and corrective actions.

Continuous Improvement & Compliance

• Identify quality risks, recurring issues, and gaps in procedural adherence; escalate appropriately.
• Support internal audits, inspections, and quality initiatives.
• Promote a strong quality culture through visibility, clear communication, and consistent expectations.

Additional Responsibilities

• Perform other related duties as assigned by Quality or Operations management.

The skills you'll need:

• Basic computer skills required (Microsoft Office, electronic forms, data entry).
• Familiarity with manufacturing documentation systems, GDP, and ISO 9001 concepts is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify procedural or documentation discrepancies.
• Ability to make practical, well-reasoned decisions within established quality frameworks.
• Comfortable working on the manufacturing floor for extended periods.
• Able to follow procedures precisely while recognizing when escalation is required.
• Self-motivated and capable of working independently during off-shift hours.
• Quick learner with the ability to absorb technical and procedural information.
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and follow-through.
• Effective communicator across Quality, Operations, and Engineering teams.

What we're looking for:

• High school diploma or GED required.
• Previous experience in a manufacturing or quality environment strongly preferred.
• Experience as a production lead, senior operator, or quality technician is highly desirable.
• Quality control experience preferred; laboratory experience is not required and is not the focus of this role.

What you'll get:

• Starting pay: $18.00/hour
• Extra $1.00/hour during 2nd shift hours (after 3pm)
• Weekly pay – get paid every Thursday!
• Full benefits starting the 1st of the month after hire!

  • Company-paid life, short & long-term disability
  • FSA, voluntary insurance options
  • $2,000–$4,000 health reimbursement account (HRA)
    • An account that is funded by the company to cover a portion of the in-network deductible for you and your family. (debit card)
  • 401(k) + company match (after 6 months)
