About the role
- Reporting directly to the VP of Manufacturing, this role will have the autonomy and responsibility to define what "good" looks like-from inspection methodologies to quality management systems to shop-floor execution.
- If you are someone who has built quality systems-not just maintained them-and thrives in environments where structure needs to be created, this role offers a rare level of ownership and impact.
- The Quality Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for driving product and process quality across the full manufacturing lifecycle-from incoming materials through final assembly readiness.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate, select, and implement scalable Quality Management Systems (QMS) appropriate for a custom, high-spec manufacturing environment
- Establish and maintain core quality processes including control plans, PFMEAs, inspection strategies, and documentation standards
- Build and refine inspection frameworks that support both prototype and production-level work
- Drive continuous improvement of quality systems, ensuring they evolve with product and process complexity
- Perform and support inspections across incoming, in-process, and final assemblies using calipers, micrometers, height gauges, optical comparators, CMM, and FARO Arm
- Partner directly with machinists, welders, fabricators, and assembly teams to resolve issues in real time
- Lead root cause investigations for nonconformances using structured methodologies; implement corrective and preventive actions that stick
- Support new product introduction through first article inspections, validation planning, and release criteria
- Develop and execute CMM/FARO programs (PC-DMIS preferred) to validate complex geometries and tight tolerances
- Work closely with Manufacturing Engineers to align design intent with manufacturing capability and inspection methods
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Materials Science, or related field
- 7+ years of experience in quality engineering within complex manufacturing environments
- Strong hands-on expertise with precision measurement tools and inspection techniques
- Experience in themed entertainment, aerospace, or other high-spec industries
- Familiarity with Lean manufacturing, 5S, and continuous improvement methodologies
- Direct experience with CMM and/or FARO Arm; PC-DMIS or similar software preferred
