Working across Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, and other business functions, the engineer supports site quality directors, Advanced Quality Planning (AQP) leaders, and supplier quality teams in assessing process capabilities and design specifications. The role also maintains change-control plans, supports audits and internal critical-to-quality (CTQ) certifications, and applies data-driven problem solving to promote quality improvements across manufacturing sites and supply-chain functions.

The position prefers candidates based in Jasper, Indiana. Remote work may be considered for candidates located near a manufacturing facility. Candidates must be available during standard core business hours and able to travel as required, less than 25%.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, quality, manufacturing, or a related technical field; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
• At least 2 years of experience in quality engineering, standards writing, or quality systems.
• In-depth knowledge of quality tools, including Cpk, FMEA, LPA, MSA, Gage R&R, and SPC, and related software systems such as Minitab.
• Strong technical writing, editing, organization, and attention to detail.
• Ability to interpret drawings, specifications, standards, procedures, and regulatory or customer requirements.
