Job description

The Quality Engineering organization is seeking a visionary leader to define and deploy a comprehensive quality strategy for advanced operations. This role involves owning the end-to-end quality lifecycle from development through production, establishing a quality management system, and building a multi-disciplinary team. The leader will ensure that advanced hardware products meet the highest quality standards while adapting to a rapidly evolving environment. This position requires a strong focus on quality systems, team development, and cross-functional collaboration.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Quality Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 10+ years of experience in quality engineering within environments producing complex electromechanical or precision hardware products.
  • 5+ years in a leadership role, with demonstrated experience hiring, scaling, and managing quality engineering teams.
  • Deep expertise in APQP/PPAP processes, DFMEA/PFMEA facilitation, and core quality tools.
  • Experience managing a metrology lab or dimensional inspection function.

Responsibilities

  • Build the Quality Management System (QMS) from the ground up and define quality policies and procedures.
  • Develop and maintain quality control plans for all processes from pilot line development to high-volume operations.
  • Lead the Supplier Quality Engineering function and ensure suppliers meet quality requirements before production.
  • Own and operate the metrology lab, managing precision measurement capabilities and calibration programs.
  • Drive rigorous root cause analysis for internal defects and supplier quality issues.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
