### Is This You?

We are looking for a quality-minded leader who is ready to grow. While a background in electronics is a plus, it is not a dealbreaker. We are explicitly expanding our search beyond traditional Quality titles and encourage applications from manufacturing, process, or other engineering backgrounds. If you have the passion and potential for a 'step-up' opportunity, we want to hear from you.

The ideal candidate must possess:

• Continuous Improvement Mindset: A self-starter who makes the role their own and is comfortable in the uncomfortable space of challenging the status quo.

• APQP & New Product Introduction Experience: Experience introducing and qualifying new products to volume manufacturing through the use of a structured framework such as Advanced Product Quality Planning.

• Strong People & Customer Skills: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with a proven ability to comfortably interact with both the team and key customers.

• Technical Foundation: Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 4 years' related experience, with a solid technical level of knowledge to develop and advise the team.
