Senior Quality Engineer

Are you a Senior Quality Engineer who looks beyond solving deviations? Someone who sees quality as a steering instrument and takes the lead in structural improvement? Then we offer you a role in which you truly make a difference.

As a Senior Quality Engineer, you are a key player in elevating our quality performance to a higher level of maturity. You act proactively, identify risks before they become problems, and strive for sustainable solutions. You are not a follower of processes, but a co-creator of how quality is ensured, improved, and experienced within our organization.

An important part of your role is to lead improvement projects both substantively and methodologically, including driving and guiding the Quality Improvement Team (QIT process). In this role, you act as a coach, challenger, and substantive conscience.

What will you do, among other things?

• Proactively analyze quality deviations, trends, and risks to uncover structural, system-driven root causes.

• Lead root cause analyses and ensure effective, sustainable CAPAs.

• Initiate, develop, and ensure quality standards, procedures, and work instructions.

• Prepare, conduct, and purposefully utilize internal and external audits.

• Analyze and translate quality KPIs into concrete improvement actions and decision-making.

• Take ownership of quality within NPI projects, including critical assessment of deliverables and customer specifications.

Where will you make a difference?

You will work intensively with production, engineering, supply chain, and customers, but above all, you will take substantive leadership. You ask the right questions, break reactive patterns, and help the organization design quality to be predictable, robust, and future-proof. Within the team, you will have the space to initiate improvement initiatives, involve others, and collectively determine where your expertise adds the most value.

In short: a role for a professional who takes ownership, thinks ahead, and structurally takes quality to the next level.
