About the Job

Requirements

Have at least five years of professional experience in manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, or measurement technology.
Have experience developing measurement systems for precision or micro-dimension components at approximately 0.1 μm scale.
Have experience with statistical process control or quality management.
Have participated in new product introduction or new product development projects.
Have measurement engineering knowledge in metrology, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, measurement uncertainty analysis, measurement system analysis, calibration, and measurement system design.
Have statistical and quality-control knowledge in statistical process control, process capability indices (Cp/Cpk), gauge repeatability and reproducibility, design of experiments, sampling plans, and statistical analysis.
Have problem-solving knowledge of the seven basic quality control tools, DMAIC, failure mode and effects analysis, root cause analysis, and risk assessment.
Have fluent Japanese proficiency.
Have business-level English proficiency, equivalent to TOEIC 700 or higher.

Responsibilities

Develop measurement methodology, including measurement strategies for precision molded parts, optical connectors, and MT ferrules; define critical-to-quality characteristics; select measurement equipment and establish measurement environments; design measurement methods and conditions suited to product characteristics; establish control plans covering inspection frequency, sampling methods, and acceptance criteria; and develop measurement standards applicable from development through mass production.
Evaluate and select measurement systems and optimize measurement methods, including vision measurement systems, coordinate measuring machines, confocal microscopes, CT scanners, laser measurement equipment, optical measurement instruments, and functional gauges; analyze measurement uncertainty; assess measurement system analysis, gauge repeatability and reproducibility, bias, linearity, and stability; and manage calibration and traceability.
Design statistical process control, including selecting control items for critical-to-quality characteristics, defining process capability requirements (Cp/Cpk), designing control charts and operating rules, designing statistical sampling methods, establishing process-variation monitoring, and developing risk-based inspection strategies.
Support development and mass-production processes by analyzing product drawings and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing requirements, translating them into process-control items, supporting process optimization through design of experiments, driving process capability improvement, leading yield and quality improvement activities, and supporting new product introduction and development projects.
Analyze quality and process data, investigate defects and sources of variation, deploy standards across global sites, establish measurement standards, develop best practices, and provide training.

Desired Qualifications

Have experience with MT ferrule or optical connector products.
Have measurement experience in the submicron range.
Have precision molding or mold technology experience.
Have experience evaluating optical properties.
Have experience using artificial intelligence or data analysis tools.
Hold a quality-related qualification such as ASQ Certified Quality Engineer.

About the Company

Koch Industries

Private conglomerate in energy and materials

Koch Industries is a large, private, diversified conglomerate that operates in energy, chemical processing, and manufacturing. It started from an innovation that turned heavy crude oil into gasoline and grew through long‑term investments rather than short‑term market moves. The company generates value by refining fuels and producing chemical products, and it operates Georgia-Pacific, a major maker of paper and building products. Its business model relies on reinvesting most earnings back into the company to fund steady, long‑term growth rather than paying out frequent dividends or seeking quick profits. Koch differentiates itself from many competitors by staying privately owned, which reduces pressure from public markets and enables longer‑range planning. The company’s goal is to build scale and durability across its holdings by sustainable, multi‑decade growth rather than rapid, episodic gains.

Company size: 5,001-10,000
Company stage: Growth Equity (Non-Venture Capital)
Total funding: $985.2M
Headquarters: Wichita, KS
Founded: 1940
