Quality Engineer

Torus•Salt Lake City, UT

1d•$60,000 - $80,000•Onsite

About The Position

The Quality Engineer is responsible for ensuring that all products, components, and sub-assemblies meet quality standards and customer specifications before they are shipped or moved to the next phase of production. This role involves leading root cause analysis, continuous improvement, process documentation, and data capture. You will also assist in conducting visual and function tests, examining materials, reading specifications, using precision measuring tools, and documenting inspection results to maintain high levels of quality control. As well as performing process audits, root cause analysis, nonconformance review and disposition. This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who wants to help build and mature Torus’s Quality Management System (QMS) from the ground up — not step into a system that is already fully established.
