$78,500 – $85,500 + Incentive
Search Made Easy is working with a stable, regulated manufacturing organization in the Greater Cleveland area seeking a Quality Engineer to support multi-site quality performance.
This is not a pure inspection role. It’s focused on root cause, metrics, and reducing quality escapes across operations.
What this role touches:
• Internal and external quality escapes
• Root Cause & Corrective Action (8D, 5 Whys, etc.)
• Quality metrics and customer scorecards
• Inspection process improvement
• Continuous Improvement initiatives
• Cross-site quality collaboration
Background we’re targeting:
• 2–7 years in manufacturing quality
• Regulated environment experience preferred (automotive, aerospace, similar)
• Ability to read prints and technical drawings
• Strong Excel / data comfort
• Exposure to ISO or AS-based systems
• Six Sigma experience is a plus
Bachelor’s preferred, but practical shop-floor quality experience carries weight.
Comp band is firm. Full benefits. Growth opportunity for someone ready to expand beyond a single plant or production line.
