The Impact You'll Make

 

As our Quality Improvement & Problem Solving Engineer, you'll play a key role in transforming how we solve problems and continuously improve quality across our manufacturing operations.

Your impact? You'll help build a culture where decisions are driven by facts, feedback is welcomed, and teams focus on solving root causes rather than symptoms. By strengthening problem-solving capabilities across the organization, you'll help ensure our customers consistently receive the quality they expect while making our processes more robust and efficient.

You'll work closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, Operations, and Quality teams, acting as a change agent who inspires new ways of thinking, challenges the status quo, and helps create a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Be Doing

 

  • Lead cross-functional improvement initiatives that eliminate recurring problems and strengthen quality performance across the organization.
  • Facilitate structured problem-solving using methodologies such as 8D, DMAIC, Lean, and Six Sigma, helping teams move from reactive firefighting to sustainable solutions.
  • Use data and process analysis to identify improvement opportunities, challenge existing ways of working, and support better business decisions.
  • Coach and engage colleagues in continuous improvement practices, building organizational capability and a culture of ownership and learning.
  • Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Operations to drive improvements that enhance customer satisfaction, process stability, and operational excellence.

What We're Looking For

 

  • Experience in Quality Engineering, Continuous Improvement, Operational Excellence, or a similar role within a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong knowledge of structured problem-solving methodologies such as 8D, DMAIC, Root Cause Analysis, SPC, FMEA, and MSA.
  • Experience leading cross-functional improvement initiatives and influencing stakeholders without formal authority.
  • Strong analytical skills combined with the ability to turn data into practical improvement actions.
  • Excellent communication skills and fluency in English, with a passion for coaching others and driving positive change.

What You'll Get from Us

 

  • A unique opportunity to shape how quality and problem solving are approached across the site—not just improve processes, but influence culture.
  • The freedom to challenge existing ways of working and introduce new ideas that create lasting business impact.
  • High visibility across the organization, working closely with leaders and cross-functional teams on strategic improvement initiatives.
  • The chance to build organizational capability by helping teams develop stronger problem-solving and continuous improvement skills.
  • An international environment where your ideas, curiosity, and initiative will directly contribute to delivering the quality our customers expect.
