Job Description

Quality Engineer
Company: Xico Lighting (A Division of 3LED Inc.).

Location: Woburn, MA (On-site)
Reports To: Quality Manager
 

About Xico Lighting:
Xico Lighting is a rapidly growing division of the 3LED group of companies that manufactures spec-grade architectural lighting, driven by precision, performance, and design excellence. As we expand our in-house manufacturing and engineering capabilities, we’re seeking a Quality Engineer who not only ensures compliance and reliability today, but also brings the technical skills to shape quality into our next generation of products and processes.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives at the intersection of operations and engineering — a hands-on engineer with leadership potential who can apply engineering tools to drive quality, continuous improvement and innovation.

What You’ll Do:

• Oversee QA inspections, audits, corrective actions, and compliance documentation.
• Ensure customer requirements and regulatory standards are consistently met.
• Collaborate with Engineering and Product Design to integrate quality into new product development (NPI).
• Lead root cause analysis (RCA), FMEA, and reliability testing for lighting assemblies and components.
• Develop test fixtures, inspection methods, and process controls to reduce variation and defects.
• Partner with Operations, Engineering, and Customer Support to resolve quality issues and warranty claims.
• Apply Lean/Six Sigma and data-driven approaches to improve manufacturing efficiency and yield.
• Champion a culture of precision, accountability, and continuous improvement across the factory.

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Quality Management, or related field (preferred).
• 5+ years of experience in a quality role within manufacturing; lighting, electronics, or high-precision assembly experience a strong plus.
• Knowledge of ISO 9001, UL/ETL compliance, Lean/Six Sigma, and advanced quality tools.
• Experience with failure analysis, test method development, and process engineering.
• ERP/MRP systems familiarity and ability to use data for decision-making.
• Hands-on leader, equally comfortable on the factory floor, in the lab, and in front of customers.

Why Join Xico Lighting?
At Xico, you’ll have the chance to shape the quality discipline from the ground up while influencing the future of product development and manufacturing. This is a role for someone who wants to make an immediate impact while also growing into a strategic quality engineering leader.

 
We offer competitive compensation, benefits, and the opportunity to grow your career alongside a passionate, collaborative team redefining architectural lighting.
