About Us Founded in 2015 to develop the world’s first industrially scalable laser metal additive manufacturing solution, VulcanForms is reshaping how the world manufactures critical products.
About the role
As a Senior Manufacturing Quality Engineer, you will serve as the technical quality lead for active volume production lines delivering high-consequence metal components for consumer technology programs. You will partner with Manufacturing, Operations, and Customer Quality teams to drive continuous yield optimization, establish Statistical Process Control (SPC) frameworks, govern PFMEAs, and lead 8D root-cause investigations to prevent quality escapes during high-volume production ramps. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of progressive Quality Engineering experience in consumer technology, high-volume hardware manufacturing, or precision metal component production
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Quality Engineering, or related technical field, equivalent hands-on experience will also be considered
- Deep command of high-volume quality tools (8D, SPC / Cpk analysis, GD&T, PFMEA, Control Plans, MSA/Gauge R&R, and AQL sampling)
- Strong working knowledge of ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 quality systems, engineering change management, and high-rate mass production (MP) ramp environments
