Location: Newark - Onsite
We’re working with a well-established, highly regulated manufacturer supporting both aerospace and medical sectors.
This is a hands-on Quality Engineering role, suited to someone who is confident operating independently across audits, validation, and continuous improvement, but still enjoys being close to the shop floor.
The role
You’ll be responsible for maintaining and improving the Quality Management System, while supporting production, suppliers and wider operational teams.
This is a broad, end-to-end role where you’ll be trusted to take ownership - not just follow process.
What you’ll be doing
Supporting and improving a QMS aligned to AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001 and FDA standards
Leading First Article Inspection (AS9102) and supporting product & process quality
Managing non-conformance and CAPA activities, including root cause analysis (8D, 5 Whys)
Supporting validation activities (IQ, OQ, PQ) across processes and equipment
Working with suppliers on quality performance and audits
Contributing to continuous improvement initiatives (Lean / Six Sigma environment)
What we’re looking for
This role suits someone who is:
Already working as a Quality Engineer or similar
Confident working within highly regulated environments
Comfortable owning problems and driving them through to resolution
Used to working across manufacturing, operations and suppliers
Experience with aerospace and/or medical devices would be highly advantageous, but not essential.
Why this role stands out
Broad, end-to-end quality exposure (not siloed)
Opportunity to influence both products and processes
Strong mix of compliance, improvement and stakeholder interaction
Role sits at a level where you can make real impact without being overly corporate or removed
Level / fit
We’re looking for someone who is:
Operating at a solid mid-level
Comfortable working independently
Ready to take the next step in ownership and visibility
