Avidbots is seeking a hands-on Quality Engineer to support supplier quality, manufacturing, engineering, field service, and overall quality improvement activities. This role bridges engineering-level problem-solving with practical quality operations across the entire product lifecycle—from incoming materials and production builds to field service returns.
Key responsibilities include supplier quality management: investigating and resolving supplier quality issues for electronic and mechanical components, issuing and managing Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), developing Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) responses, reviewing supplier quality performance and scorecards, approving Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) and First Article Inspection (FAI) documentation, and monitoring supplier corrective actions.
Manufacturing and production quality work involves investigating production issues, determining risks and root causes, coordinating corrective actions with Engineering and Manufacturing, reviewing Material Review Board (MRB) decisions, supporting production teams in resolving material and assembly issues, performing FAI and incoming inspections, generating Quality Alerts, performing quality inspections on robots and production equipment, and managing defective and non-conforming materials.
Engineering and design quality responsibilities include evaluating engineering-related quality issues, assessing product and production risks, creating and managing Issue Management (IM) tickets, working directly with engineers to investigate design and hardware issues, reviewing and approving Developmental Phase (DEV) and Engineering Change Order (ECO) changes, and participating in engineering reviews.
Out-of-box and product quality activities include generating and maintaining Out-of-Box (OOB) quality reports, analyzing OOB data to identify trends and failure modes, coordinating cross-functional corrective actions, monitoring product quality metrics (First Pass Yield, Scrap, OOB), and using quality data to identify continuous improvement opportunities.
