• Strong technical and analytical skills with experience interpreting drawings, specifications, and validation data
• Proficiency in root cause analysis, CAPA, and PPAP processes
• Working knowledge of statistical tools (e.g., Minitab) for process control and variation analysis
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills and ability to drive problem resolution collaboratively
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment
• Self-starter with a consultative mindset and minimal need for ramp-up time

Bonus Qualifications:

• Experience with LiDAR, radar, sensor, or camera hardware
• Experience helping build or scale a QMS from the ground up
• Exposure to complex electro-mechanical assemblies or software-controlled capital equipment

Benefits:

• Pre-tax commuter benefits
• Employer (HireArt) subsidized healthcare benefits (Eligibility begins on the first of the month following 60 days of service)
