Platform engineer Jobs in Burbank, CA

Quality Engineer WET (Design) – Sun Valley, CA At WET, we create some of the world’s most iconic water features, blending art, engineering, and imagination to deliver experiences that stop people in their tracks.

From the Fountains of Bellagio to the Dubai Fountain, our work is built on precision, creativity, and a commitment to doing exceptional work at every stage.

We’re looking for a Quality Engineer who is comfortable being close to the work — in the machine shop, weld shop, sheet metal shop, injection molding shop, and the on-premise assembly shop known as Finale .

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands how parts are made, how assemblies come together, and how quality can be strengthened by working side by side with the people doing the building.

This role partners closely with Manufacturing Engineers and reports through the VP of Manufacturing.

It is ideal for someone who is curious, technically grounded, and energized by solving problems where they actually happen.

Role Overview The Quality Engineer helps ensure that parts, subassemblies, and finished assemblies meet WET’s standards for quality, fit, function, and reliability.

You’ll work across multiple internal manufacturing environments to inspect, investigate, improve, and support the systems that feed our Finale assembly operation.

This is not a desk-only quality role.

It requires someone who can walk the floor, understand the process, ask the right questions, and help drive practical solutions that improve the way we build.

What You’ll Do Work directly with machine shop, weld shop, sheet metal, injection molding, and assembly teams to support product and process quality Perform inspections on incoming materials, in-process components, subassemblies, and finished goods Use precision measurement tools and inspection equipment to verify dimensions, tolerances, and conformance to specification Operate and support CMM and FARO Arm equipment; program simple routines using PC-DMIS as needed Investigate nonconforming parts and assemblies, determine root causes, and help implement effective corrective actions Partner with Manufacturing Engineers to improve part quality, process repeatability, and build readiness across departments Help develop and maintain Control Plans, PFMEAs, inspection procedures, and work instructions Support first article inspections, validation activities, and release criteria for new or revised parts Maintain calibration records, inspection documentation, and quality lab files with accuracy and care Track recurring quality issues and help identify trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement Support the daily flow of work into Finale by helping ensure parts are made correctly, documented properly, and ready when needed Maintain an organized, safe, and efficient work environment while following 5S and lean principles Collaborate with production, engineering, and leadership teams to keep work moving and resolve issues quickly What You Bring Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Materials Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience 5+ years of quality engineering, quality control, or inspection experience in a manufacturing environment Strong working knowledge of precision measurement tools, drawings, tolerances, and inspection methods Experience working closely with shop-floor teams in machining, welding, sheet metal, molding, or assembly environments Hands-on CMM and/or FARO Arm experience; PC-DMIS experience preferred Strong problem-solving skills and a practical, root-cause mindset Comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving manufacturing environment with multiple priorities Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust across technical teams Excellent attention to detail, documentation habits, and follow-through Curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to grow with the complexity of the work Preferred Experience Background in low-volume / high-mix manufacturing Experience in prototype shops, custom fabrication, or engineered product environments Familiarity with Lean thinking, 5S, and continuous improvement Experience supporting manufacturing engineers and production teams in a highly collaborative setting Why WET At WET, you’ll be part of a team that builds extraordinary work through craftsmanship, technical discipline, and creativity.

The role is ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the action, solving real manufacturing problems, and helping shape how work gets done across a dynamic production environment.

As our projects grow in complexity, we’re looking for people who are ready to grow with them — people whose curiosity deepens, whose judgment sharpens, and whose approach becomes even more thoughtful, resilient, and effective over time.

If you’re a hands-on Quality Engineer who wants to make a meaningful impact across the shops that feed Finale, we’d love to hear from you.
