About The Position

The Manager of Hardware Quality Engineering will build, scale, and lead a team of quality engineers, supplier quality personnel, and metrology specialists at LVT’s Spanish Fork manufacturing facility. The role serves as the technical engine for hardware quality by analyzing non-conformance data from incoming, production, and field return inspections, leading root-cause investigations, and executing permanent resolutions. The manager partners with Manufacturing Engineering to validate test methods and screening criteria, develops ISO 9001-compliant lean documentation, and represents Quality in early New Product Introduction (NPI) gate reviews. The role is based in-office at the manufacturing facility in Spanish Fork, Utah, with travel as needed for supplier collaboration and engineering initiatives.

Requirements

At least 6 years of hardware quality, reliability, or manufacturing engineering experience.
At least 2 years in a direct engineering management or team leadership role.
A track record of establishing quality documentation and processes aligned with ISO 9001 standards in a lean manufacturing context.
Technical expertise in root-cause analysis methodologies, including 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone, and DMAIC, applied to electro-mechanical hardware, solar/power systems, custom PCBAs, and vision devices.
Experience establishing and validating test methods, screening processes, and test equipment fixtures alongside Manufacturing Engineering teams.
Experience driving supplier quality, vendor corrective actions, and component qualification through supplier quality engineering resources.
Working knowledge of GD&T, metrology equipment, First Article Inspections (FAIs), and calibration program governance.
Active experience collaborating with Hardware Engineering teams during early-stage NPI gate reviews to support design for quality.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Responsibilities

Lead, mentor, and direct a multidisciplinary team covering quality engineering, supplier quality, metrology, and equipment calibration.
Act on non-conformance data identified by incoming, in-process, and field return inspection teams, driving root-cause analysis to resolve internal assembly or external component failures.
Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to validate and approve test methods, inspection criteria, screening processes, and test fixtures across production lines.
Direct supplier quality resources to enforce vendor accountability, drive supplier corrective action requests (SCARs), and lead supplier quality improvement and development initiatives.
Build and maintain ISO 9001-compliant quality documentation, standard operating procedures, and process controls for a lean manufacturing environment.
Ensure early Quality involvement in NPI by collaborating with Hardware Engineering during stage-gate reviews to support product testability, manufacturability, and field reliability.
Oversee site metrology practices, First Article Inspections (FAIs), and equipment calibration schedules to maintain measurement integrity across manufacturing lines.
Establish hardware quality metrics and trend reporting, including DPPM, yield loss, and field failure Pareto charts, to guide executive operational priorities and continuous improvement.
