• Implement and support Statistical Process Control (SPC) and ISO-9001 documentation.
• Collaborate with Operations, Business Development, and Development Engineering.
• Review equipment performance, energy usage, and calibration requirements.
• Support customer interactions related to product specifications and testing.
• Drive continuous improvement, corrective actions, and preventive measures.
• Ensure proper product labeling, testing, traceability, and disposition.
• Maintain accurate process documentation and quality records.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Ceramics Engineering or Materials Science (required).
• Experience with ceramic or inorganic material manufacturing.
• Strong understanding of process control, yield analysis, and quality systems.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally in a production-driven environment.
• Detail-oriented with a continuous improvement mindset.

Why This Role?

• High-impact position in advanced materials manufacturing.
• Hands-on influence over process performance and product quality.
• Opportunity to shape how new products reach the production floor.
