Position Summary
The Lead Quality Engineer – Technology & Transformation is responsible for defining, deploying, and continuously improving end-to-end quality engineering solutions across the manufacturing value stream—from incoming raw materials through production and final product performance at the customer.
This role ensures robust, scalable quality verification and process control methods are embedded directly within manufacturing operations, leveraging in-line inspection technologies, material science understanding, and process capability engineering to drive consistency, traceability, and compliance.
A key focus of the role is to establish connected visibility of product quality throughout its lifecycle, linking material characteristics, process conditions, and finished good performance into a cohesive view that enables proactive decision-making, defect prevention, and continuous improvement.
Operating within the Quality COE, this leader combines hands-on technical expertise with enterprise-level influence, partnering across Quality, Operations, and Engineering to standardize best practices, deploy next-generation quality technologies, and elevate overall manufacturing performance.
