Audits will primarily focus on internal processes (manufacturing, regulatory compliance, internal policies) as well as external/supplier processes (QMS, design, manufacturing, assembly, testing, inspection).
• Ensure product compliance with design requirements based on a quality plan — develop inspection and testing standards, establish control points, oversee the inspection process, and handle non-conformities through resolution plans.
• Maintain manufacturing compliance — review, assign responsibility, and determine the material disposition of non-conformities; lead investigations to identify root causes and necessary corrective actions for hardware issues; update/develop standards for accepting/rejecting parts; implement quality clinics.
• Lead MRB (Material Review Board) meetings and provide necessary recommendations.
• Conduct quality audits in production areas.
• Validate and verify manufacturing processes and qualification techniques.
• Implement production measures to drive continuous improvement projects.
• Identify improvement opportunities — analyze data to find recurring issues using problem-solving tools (Ishikawa, Pareto, control charts, etc.); organize product/process improvement workshops.

Basic Qualifications

• College diploma (D.E.C.) in mechanical or electrical engineering (or technical training with equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment
• Experience with internal and external (supplier) audits required
• Knowledge of ISO 9001:2015 and its quality management principles
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes related to mechanical or electrical products (welding, plating, painting, machining, sheet metal, mechanical/electrical assembly, PCB assembly, cable assembly)
• Bilingual (French and English)
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
