Who We Are Looking For
We're looking for a quality-minded engineer who takes genuine pride in building things right the first time. You're someone who sees quality not as a final checkpoint, but as something that gets designed and built into a product from the very beginning — through solid data, sound processes, and close collaboration with the teams designing and building the product.
You bring a strong foundation in manufacturing or mechanical engineering, backed by real-world experience solving production problems, and you're comfortable moving between hands-on inspection work and higher-level statistical analysis. You know how to dig into data to find the root cause of an issue, document it clearly, and drive a fix that sticks — and you're just as comfortable auditing a supplier's process as you are sitting in on a design review contributing to an FMEA.
This role is a great fit for someone who wants to have a direct, visible impact on product quality at Re:Build DAPR Engineering — from early design input through incoming materials, in-process controls, and finished goods. If you enjoy variety in your work, take ownership of problems until they're truly resolved, and want your analytical skills to translate into tangible improvements on the shop floor, this role offers that opportunity.
What You Get To Do
Contribute to product design teams by driving FMEAs, identifying critical-to-quality (CTQ) characteristics, and establishing verification methods early in the development process
Analyze process data statistically to confirm processes are in control, and lead troubleshooting efforts when they're not
Investigate quality issues and document corrective actions using 8D or a similar structured methodology
Drive Material Review Board (MRB) actions to resolve nonconforming material
Inspect incoming parts and materials as needed to catch issues before they enter production
Track KPIs such as scrap rate, rework, and yield, and lead continuous improvement efforts to move those metrics in the right direction
Maintain the calibration schedule for inspection equipment to ensure measurement accuracy
Conduct supplier audits and provide recommendations on preferred vendors
Support company-wide ISO 9001 internal and external audits as needed
What You Bring To The Team
Preferred
Six Sigma or other quality-related certification
