Quality Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Overview

We are seeking a  hands-on Quality Manager to lead and improve our ISO 9001 quality system within a fast-paced  manufacturing environment .

This is not a desk-only role—you’ll be on the production floor working closely with operators, engineering, and leadership to  drive quality, reduce waste, and improve processes .

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the  ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS)
• Develop and update  SOPs, work instructions, and quality documentation
• Drive  root cause analysis (RCA), CAPA, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Reduce  scrap, defects, and cost of quality (COQ)across converting operations
• Lead  internal audits and support customer and external audits
• Oversee  incoming, in-process, and final inspections
• Partner with  production, maintenance, and engineering to improve quality on the floor
• Work directly with  customers and suppliers to resolve quality issues
• Ensure compliance with  customer specifications and regulatory requirements
• Track and report  quality KPIs (scrap, yield, defects, rework, etc.)

Requirements

• 5-6 years of  quality experience in manufacturing (converting, packaging, printing, or similar preferred)
• Strong experience with  ISO 9001 systems (implementation and maintenance)
• Hands-on experience with  RCA, CAPA, audits, and process improvement
• Experience in  high-speed production or roll-to-roll processes is a strong plus
• Ability to read specs/drawings and use  inspection and measuring tools
• Comfortable working directly on the  production floor
• Proficient in  Excel and quality documentation systems

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on leader who will  be on the floor, not just in the office
• Someone who can  tighten processes, reduce waste, and hold teams accountable
• Strong communicator who can work with  operators, leadership, customers, and suppliers
• Experience improving quality in a  fast-paced manufacturing environment

Not a Fit If

• You’ve only worked in corporate or lab environments with little plant exposure
• You prefer managing reports vs. solving problems on the production floor
• You lack hands-on experience with ISO systems, audits, or corrective actions
