NPI Engineer

A precision manufacturer working on genuinely complex high impact products is looking for a Quality Engineer who actually enjoys the engineering side of the job.

This isnt a role where youll babysit audits and chase deviations. Youll sit at the front end of New Product Introduction owning the validations the control plans the inspection strategies and getting your hands into the process when the data and the part dont agree.

What youll actually do

Lead quality activities through NPI from concept to production handover aligned to customer CTQ and regulatory requirements

Run IQ/OQ/PQ validations and build control plans that hold up once volume ramps

Use DOE SPC MSA and structured problem-solving (DMAIC 8D) on the kinds of problems that dont have an obvious answer

Get deep into manufacturing processes such as moulding coating automation and assembly and work out which variables actually matter

Drive yield consistency and process readiness during development builds

Sit at the table with engineering manufacturing and customers to align on specs acceptance criteria and validation expectations

Build SOPs inspection plans and validation documentation aligned to ISO standards

What we want to see

5 years in Quality or Manufacturing Engineering

Real NPI and process validation experience not theoretical

Working fluency in Six Sigma / DMAIC and the ability to actually run DOE SPC MSA and RCA not just reference them

An engineering background (Mechanical Materials Manufacturing or similar) is a plus but track record carries more weight than the certificate on the wall

Communication skills strong enough to bring stakeholders along with you

Why this one is worth a look

High-impact products in a regulated environment work that genuinely matters

A team that values engineering thinking and continuous improvement

Real ownership of process design quality strategy and product outcomes

Visible contribution. Youll see the impact of your work on the floor and in the data
