Senior Field Service Quality Engineer

Join our team as a Senior Field Service Quality Engineer, where you will lead quality initiatives for the manufacturing, integration, and delivery of complex electro-mechanical systems for autonomous surface vessels. You will serve as a technical authority on the production and integration floor, driving risk-based quality decisions and resolving complex technical issues. Your responsibilities will include leading manufacturing quality, driving nonconformance management, establishing inspection standards, partnering with engineering, improving quality systems and processes, analyzing quality performance, managing quality risk, providing technical leadership, and supporting quality compliance.

• Lead quality initiatives supporting the manufacturing, integration, and delivery of complex electro-mechanical systems for autonomous surface vessels (ASVs).
• Develop, implement, and continuously improve quality assurance processes, inspection strategies, and manufacturing controls.
• Facilitate complex root cause investigations using structured problem-solving methodologies and drive corrective and preventive actions.

• The ideal candidate is comfortable navigating ambiguity in a fast-paced environment, influencing cross-functional teams, and balancing quality, safety, performance, and delivery requirements without compromising engineering standards
• Strong analytical, communication, and technical documentation skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and drive issues to resolution
• Experience in aerospace, defense, maritime, or other highly regulated engineering environments is highly desirable
• Experience developing inspection plans, defining acceptance criteria, and making risk-based quality decisions
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace, Ocean, Industrial Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, 3D models, specifications, and bills of materials to evaluate product conformity and support technical issue resolution
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes, engineering drawings, GD&T, dimensional inspection, and product acceptance requirements
• 5+ years of relevant engineering experience, with demonstrated experience in quality engineering, manufacturing quality, or production support
• Experience supporting complex electro-mechanical assemblies, integrated systems, or precision manufacturing environments
• Demonstrated expertise in root cause analysis, nonconformance management, corrective and preventive action (CAPA), and structured problem-solving methodologies
• Experience mentoring engineers or inspectors and leading cross-functional quality improvement initiatives is preferred
• Familiarity with ISO 9001, AS9100, and other applicable quality management system requirements is a plus
• Experience collaborating across Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain to resolve complex production issues
