Quality Engineer

ABOUT THE POSITION: As a Quality Engineer at J.W. Speaker, you'll be at the center of driving product and process excellence. You'll work across molding, SMT, and assembly to establish and maintain quality requirements, lead scrap reduction efforts, and train associates on customer expectations.
