About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in mechanical, industrial, manufacturing, or electrical engineering, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
  • At least 5 years of experience in quality or manufacturing engineering for cloud or data-center hardware, or equivalent education, training, and experience.
  • Strong background in root-cause analysis and continuous-improvement methods, including DMAIC, FMEA, statistical process control, and measurement system analysis.
  • Excel or Sheets power-user skills and basic proficiency with a business intelligence tool such as Power BI, Tableau, or Looker.
  • Proficiency in pressure testing, leak testing, mechanical inspection, and fluid-handling quality controls.
  • Ability to influence cross-functional teams and stakeholders using data-driven insights to drive process changes and improvements.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced production environment, manage multiple priorities, and meet deadlines.
  • Hands-on approach and willingness to work on the factory floor with equipment and processes.
  • Ability to lift up to 25–30 pounds occasionally and use required personal protective equipment.

Responsibilities

  • Lead quality assurance activities for new and existing liquid-cooled server and rack assembly operations.
  • Develop quality controls, lead investigations, validate liquid-handling processes, and ensure stable, repeatable production aligned with customer and industry expectations.
  • Own product and process quality for liquid-cooling assemblies, collaborate cross-functionally to prevent defects, and drive improvements in reliability, manufacturability, and yield.
  • Review customer requirements during initial new product introduction phases, including bills of material, cosmetic and technical specifications, and incoming quality criteria, and ensure compliance.
  • Maintain and improve ISO 9001:2015 processes, work instructions, and records for the cloud product line; support internal audits and readiness for external and customer audits.
  • Lead quality readiness for new product introduction builds by establishing inspection plans, critical-to-quality characteristics, process failure mode and effects analysis updates, and measurement system analysis and gauge repeatability and reproducibility studies.
  • Verify quality targets through initial production ramp, identify defect modes early, address them permanently, complete build reports, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to close identified gaps.
  • Define and enforce incoming quality criteria for liquid-cooling assemblies, including pressure-test and leak-test acceptance limits, to ensure system integrity and compliance with industry standards and customer quality specifications.
  • Develop and maintain leak-prevention quality protocols, including incoming pressure testing, leak-test procedures, and sensor-based leak monitoring.
  • Execute and verify leak-prevention protocols, coolant-handling processes, and pressure-test methods to ensure compliant production and stable cooling-loop performance.
  • Audit and verify cooling and fluid-handling processes against quality, efficiency, safety, and sustainability targets, preventing contamination and reducing variation.
  • Support qualification, commissioning, calibration, performance verification, troubleshooting, and upgrade validation across the quality lifecycle of process and test equipment.
  • Establish statistical process control on critical processes; track first-pass yield, defects per million opportunities, and escapes; deploy mistake-proofing and structured containment when process signals drift.
  • Define incoming inspection criteria based on company and customer requirements during new product introduction; support supplier quality with critical-to-quality identification, material-storage processes, and supplier qualifications as needed.
  • Evaluate supplier performance and collaborate with supplier quality engineering to issue supplier corrective action requests and verify their effectiveness.
  • Lead 8D and A3 investigations into returns and complaints; implement corrective and preventive actions and communicate data-driven findings to customer quality teams.
  • Identify gaps and drive corrective actions to closure while working with cross-functional teams and customers as needed.
  • Prepare data-driven quality reports, including trend analyses, issue summaries, and corrective and preventive action effectiveness.
  • Analyze yield, defects per million opportunities, leakage events, and thermal and flow data to identify emerging issues.
  • Drive structured root-cause investigations using 8D, A3, 5 Whys, Ishikawa, and advanced quality tools.
  • Provide actionable insights and recommended improvements to manufacturing, engineering, and leadership.
  • Automate data flow from manufacturing execution and enterprise resource planning systems; build live dashboards and alerts; use control-chart behavior to recommend corrective actions.
  • Publish procedures and one-point lessons; train operators and technicians on critical quality features, audit discipline, and error-proofing.
  • Translate customer and regulatory requirements into internal work instructions, visual aids, and other applicable documents.
  • Partner with Environmental Health and Safety and Quality Systems to establish and enforce standard operating procedures for leak mitigation, coolant handling, chemical safety, waste management, and environmental compliance.
  • Partner with Industrial Engineering, Test Engineering, Process Engineering, and Maintenance to align quality and process objectives.
  • Train operators and technicians on cooling-system inspection standards, leak-testing methods, and quality-critical characteristics.
  • Influence decisions using data interpretation and technical rationale.
  • Achieve quarter-over-quarter increases in first-pass yield and yield, and decreases in defects per million opportunities.
  • Maintain zero major audit findings and ensure critical-to-quality characteristics are green at launch.
  • Verify corrective and preventive action effectiveness and reduce recurrence rates.
  • Reduce cost of poor quality, including scrap, rework, and returns, with quantified savings.
  • Reduce customer corrective action request closure lead time.
  • Work on-site at Florence integration and test lines, with supplier and customer visits up to 15–20% as needed.
  • Collaborate frequently with Manufacturing/Process, Test, Supplier Quality Engineering, New Product Introduction/Project Management, Industrial Engineering, and Customer Quality.

Desired Qualifications

  • ASQ Certified Quality Engineer or Six Sigma Green Belt.
  • Supplier development experience, including Advanced Product Quality Planning and Production Part Approval Process, and customer-facing quality experience.
  • Experience with building management systems, manufacturing execution systems, enterprise resource planning systems, and SAP.
  • Knowledge of liquid-cooling component quality standards for cold plates, manifolds, pumps, fittings, and coolant purity.
  • Knowledge of industry-standard leak-testing practices, including pressure testing, leak detection, and tracer-gas methods, and ability to design quality controls that prevent leaks, detect early failures, and ensure system integrity throughout production.
