Quality Engineer

Aegis is partnered with a growing manufacturing operation in the Elgin, IL area that is looking for a Quality Engineer to build and lead its quality processes. This is a newly created position with major opportunity for ownership, impact, and long-term growth as several senior team members retire over the coming years.

The role is perfect for someone who enjoys developing structure, improving systems, and working cross-functionally with engineering, procurement, service, and production.

What You'll Do

• Develop and implement an entirely new Quality Management System (QMS).
• Lead incoming, in-process, and outgoing inspection methods.
• Perform root cause analysis, corrective actions, and non-conformance management.
• Support vendor quality issues and work with procurement on part quality improvements.
• Conduct finished goods testing, process audits, and documentation updates.
• Use data, KPIs, and production feedback to solve recurring quality problems.
• Collaborate closely with engineering and shop-floor teams to maintain quality standards.
