Founded in Japan in 2007 and headquartered in Yokohama, AESC has been building manufacturing capabilities around the world in the U.S., U.K., Europe, Japan and China to serve key markets and leading customers locally for over 14 years. Today, AESC has become the partner of choice for the world's leading OEMs and energy storage providers in North America, Europe, and Asia. Its advanced technology powers over one million electric vehicles and provides more than 15GWh of installed capacity for battery energy systems in over 60 countries.
AESC is expanding its footprint in the United States, and the Blythewood Repack Operation supports the broader South Carolina production network. AESC is committed to our local communities where it is making its investments, creating jobs, and supporting local charities.
About The Role
As a key member of AESC US LLC's Quality Management Systems (QMS) team, the QMS Engineer will lead Quality Management System initiatives and internal/external audit activities in line with required industry standards (including IATF 16949 and VDA 6.3), accreditation requirements, and business requirements across existing and new procedures. This role is based at our Columbia, SC facility and reports to the Sr. Manager of US Regional Quality, managing the audit program (internal and external) to ensure that all nonconformities raised against certification bodies and internal standards during audits are effectively corrected and independently verified.
The QMS Engineer leads the team to achieve quality management system targets for customers and continuous improvement objectives, working across our US manufacturing facilities. This role will directly impact our strategic goals and contribute to our position as a global leader in battery technology.
What You Will Do

Monitor, review, and work closely with plant operations, quality, and engineering teams to conduct internal audits.
Coordinate external audit activities to support quality certifications such as IATF 16949, ISO 14001, and VDA 6.3.
Monitor quality standards and provide guidance and recommendations for QMS changes.
Manage and drive closure for identified non-conformances and audit gap analysis.
Conduct job functions with minimal guidance and follow-up; lead and delegate responsibilities as required to project core team members.
Outline and report on completion status, open issues, action plans, and problem analysis (including departmental or core team process issues), and make recommendations to the core team, manager, quality assurance, and core team management at planned milestones; consult and support other engineers on the above.
Stay abreast of industry trends, technological advancements, and market dynamics, applying this knowledge to day-to-day activities and contributing to our competitive edge in the market.
Develop, implement, monitor, and evaluate the company's quality strategy, objectives, and quality plans to ensure alignment with customer requirements, business goals, and regulatory expectations.
Manage quality organization budgets, resource planning, and allocation to ensure effective utilization of personnel, systems, and operational resources while supporting continuous improvement initiatives.
Drive implementation and effectiveness of automotive core quality tools such as APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, MSA, and Control Plans, ensuring compliance with customer-specific requirements and IATF 16949 standards.
Complete other duties as assigned.
