Quality Engineer

About the Role

The Quality Engineer is responsible for ensuring that all products, components, and sub-

assemblies meet quality standards and customer specifications before they are shipped or

moved to the next phase of production. This role involves leading root cause analysis,

continuous improvement, process documentation, and data capture. You will also assist in

conducting visual and function tests, examining materials, reading specifications, using

precision measuring tools, and documenting inspection results to maintain high levels of quality

control. As well as performing process audits, root cause analysis, nonconformance review and

disposition. This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who wants to help build and mature

Torus’s Quality Management System (QMS) from the ground up — not step into a system that

is already fully established.
