Quality Engineer Early Career

Job Description

Quality Engineer I -- Great Early-Career Opportunity
- ---------------------------------------------------

**Ready to turn your technical education into hands-on manufacturing experience?**

Our client is looking for an **early-career Quality Engineer** who is eager to learn, solve problems, work with data, and build a career in quality and manufacturing.

This is an excellent opportunity for a **recent graduate or someone with limited professional experience** who has a technical background and wants exposure to real-world quality systems, continuous improvement, manufacturing processes, and problem-solving. You do **not** need to come in knowing everything---we're looking for someone with a strong foundation, curiosity, and the drive to grow.

### What You'll Be Doing

You'll work alongside experienced manufacturing and quality professionals while gaining exposure to a variety of quality initiatives. Responsibilities will include:

* Supporting the company's Quality Management System and quality standards
* Participating in **Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement projects**
* Assisting with internal quality audits and corrective actions
* Collecting and analyzing manufacturing and quality data
* Supporting **Statistical Process Control (SPC)** initiatives
* Creating graphs, reports, diagrams, and other quality documentation
* Helping investigate problems, identify root causes, and recommend solutions
* Supporting customer quality concerns and non-conformance activities
* Assisting with procedures, documentation, training, and other quality-related projects

The position provides exposure to standards including **ISO 9001, ISO 17025, and Nadcap**, making it a strong opportunity to develop highly marketable quality and manufacturing experience.

### What We're Looking For

We're especially interested in candidates who are **early in their careers and ready to learn**. You may be a recent graduate, have a year or two of experience, or have technical/manufacturing experience that you're ready to build upon.

A **two-year technical degree** in Quality, Statistical Analysis, or a related area can qualify you for consideration; a four-year technical degree is also welcomed.

You'll be a strong fit if you bring an interest in **quality, manufacturing, data analysis, statistics, metallurgy, or process improvement**, along with solid computer skills and the ability to communicate clearly. Familiarity with SPC, Lean Manufacturing, ISO standards, machining drawings, or statistical software is a plus---but we encourage candidates who are still developing these skills to apply.

### Why This Opportunity?

This isn't a role where you'll spend your first few years sitting on the sidelines. You'll have the chance to **learn quality engineering by actually doing it**---working with data, investigating problems, supporting improvement projects, and gaining exposure to recognized quality systems and manufacturing operations.

If you're looking for that important **first or early-career opportunity** where you can learn, contribute, and develop into a well-rounded Quality Engineer, we'd like to hear from you.

**Recent graduates and early-career candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.**
