- 3+ years of experience supporting electromechanical hardware testing or manufacturing quality environments
- Experience with PFMEA, Gage R&R, DOE, and statistical analysis methodologies
- Familiarity with PCBA testing, sensor validation, actuator testing, calibration workflows, or end-of-line manufacturing test systems
- Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret production data and identify actionable trends
Skills
- Familiarity with scalable manufacturing test systems across multiple production sites
- Exposure to startup or fast-paced hardware development environments
- Strong technical documentation and process development capability
Compensation
- $90,000-$150,000 per year
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Generous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave
- Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options

- Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal support
Company info
- Develop and implement manufacturing quality strategies that improve system reliability, production readiness, and test coverage
- Lead PFMEA and failure analysis activities that reduce manufacturing escapes and improve process robustness
- Partner with Test, Firmware, and Design Engineering teams to integrate scalable quality checks into manufacturing workflows
- Drive DOE and validation activities that improve test accuracy, pass/fail thresholds, and production consistency across manufacturing sites
- Strong understanding of manufacturing quality systems for electromechanical hardware products
- We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.
