Title: Entry Level Quality Analyst

Company: Bossard

Location: Cedar Falls, IA

Compensation: Up to $50,000 (Flexibility DOE)

Are you ready to work for a company that offers a range of opportunities to develop your career? Do you want to expand and develop your skills and capabilities in a dynamic, international business environment? Then Bossard is the company for you! 

Bossard is a global leader in fastening technology and smart supply solutions, partnering with manufacturers across industries to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize production processes.

We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Quality Analyst to join our team. In this role, you will help ensure the quality and reliability of the fasteners and industrial products we provide to our customers.

This is more than an inspection position. You will investigate customer and supplier quality issues, analyze quality trends, manage nonconforming product, support corrective actions, and work with teams across the business to prevent problems from recurring.

If you enjoy solving problems, working with technical products, digging into data, and making processes better, this could be a great opportunity for you.

What You'll Do

• Investigate customer complaints, product quality concerns, and internal nonconformances.
• Analyze quality data to identify trends, recurring issues, and opportunities for improvement.
• Support root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Track corrective actions through completion and help verify their effectiveness.
• Work with Purchasing and suppliers to resolve supplier-related quality issues.
• Review product specifications, drawings, certificates, inspection reports, and customer requirements.
• Assist with product inspections and use measurement tools such as calipers, micrometers, and gauges.
• Support verification of fastener dimensions, threads, materials, finishes/coatings, and other product requirements.
• Review Certificates of Conformance, material certifications, test reports, and other quality documentation.
• Develop and maintain quality metrics, reports, and dashboards.
• Partner with Quality, Operations, Purchasing, Sales, Customer Service, and Supply Chain to resolve issues quickly and effectively.
• Recommend practical improvements that reduce defects, returns, rework, and repeat customer complaints.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in quality, manufacturing, distribution, engineering support, supply chain, or a related environment.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications.
• Ability to communicate effectively with customers, suppliers, and internal teams.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
