Summary

We're looking for a Quality Engineering Manager who is ready to lead a high‑caliber team and shape the future of our manufacturing and product quality. In this role, you will champion proactive quality engineering practices that prevent defects, strengthen process capability, and ensure our products meet the highest technical and regulatory standards. You'll guide quality oversight from early design through full‑rate production-helping ensure our centrifuge components and processes are robust, efficient, and ready for release.

If you enjoy building strong engineering systems, developing talent, and driving continuous improvement, this is a role where your impact will truly be felt.

You'll lead APQP efforts, champion robust processes and measurement systems, oversee root-cause investigations, and use data to elevate performance. You'll partner closely with Design, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Quality to ensure requirements are met, risks are mitigated, and quality expectations are consistently exceeded.
