Position Summary

Miovision is looking for an exceptional Hardware Quality Lead who is passionate about driving quality activities to ensure best in class hardware solutions. This isn't about sitting in the passenger seat. In this role, you will have the freedom and responsibility to test NPI prototypes, debug and develop solutions for issues, and strengthen the Miovision Quality Management System.

Because the team is small, we value practical problem solving and taking initiative to ensure that we’re building the right product. We celebrate successes and build team dynamics through everyday interactions, lunches, and social events. In the past, we’ve solved puzzles in escape rooms, enjoyed axe throwing, and basked in the sun on the patio together. If you want to steer real‑world impact and help us clear the road for smart city innovation, this is your launchpad.

Please Note: This is an on‑site opportunity at our HQ in Kitchener, Ontario.

Objectives and Responsibilities

• Drive continuous improvement activities for Miovision’s Quality Management System.
• Debug and identify fixes for issues occurring during production testing.
• Support manufacturing team in resolving quality issues on the production line and driving continuous improvement projects.
• Monitor and evaluate quality KPIs to identify critical areas of focus and fuel continuous improvement initiatives.
• Implement robust quality control processes (like ESS and burn‑in testing) to isolate latent defects found in manufacturing before our products ever reach a city intersection.
• Partner with suppliers and operations teams to conduct rigorous First Article Inspections (FAI) and guarantee top‑tier component reliability.
• Ownership and accountability for the sustainability and triage processes for in‑life hardware products.
• Work closely with Operations and Manufacturing to perform quality analysis on third‑party parts and triage.

Ideal Profile

• Mastery of Hardware Quality: You have a proven track record of leading hands‑on engineering or quality initiatives, taking physical products from early prototype testing through to full‑scale production.
• System Expert: You have practical experience implementing improvements to strengthen Quality Management System (ISO 9001:2015).
• Technical Education: You possess a technical degree or diploma paired with a solid understanding of electrical systems, mechanical assemblies, or both.
• Diagnostic Intuition: You’re an expert at root‑cause analysis, electronic debugging, and the sustainability processes required to keep hardware stable throughout its entire lifecycle.
• Analytical & Problem‑Solving Skills: Strong analytical capabilities with a methodical, structured approach to resolving complex issues.
• Attention to Detail: Highly detail‑oriented with a strong commitment to accuracy and quality in all deliverables.
• Continuous Learning: A proactive interest in learning new technologies and applying those skills across a wide range of technical applications.
• Bonus Points: If you have experience with test automation systems, environmental test specifications and methodologies, performing incoming quality inspection, or a background working within the traffic or intelligent mobility sectors, you'll fit right in.
