Quality And Reliability Engineer

The Quality & Reliability Engineer is responsible for driving product quality throughout the product lifecycle- from design and NPI through manufacturing and customer support.

This is a hands-on, cross-functional Quality Engineering role with a strong focus on identifying and resolving product quality issues, leading failure investigations, driving Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA), and ensuring quality considerations are embedded in engineering and operational processes.

Working closely with R&D, Mechanical Engineering, NPI, Manufacturing, Testing and Operations, the engineer will take ownership of quality-related activities, proactively identify risks and gaps, raise quality concerns, and drive issues to resolution across multiple interfaces.

The role also includes product reliability and qualification activities, including FMEA/DFMEA, environmental testing and reliability analysis, as part of the broader responsibility for product quality and robustness.

Quality Engineering & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Lead product quality activities throughout development, NPI, manufacturing and ongoing product support.
• Lead failure investigations and Root Cause Analysis (RCA), working closely with engineering and operational teams to identify underlying causes and drive issues to closure.
• Drive Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA), including definition, implementation, follow-up and effectiveness verification.
• Proactively identify quality risks, recurring issues and process gaps, raise concerns and drive cross-functional improvement actions.
• Work closely with R&D, Mechanical Engineering, NPI, Manufacturing, Testing and Operations to resolve product and process quality issues.
• Develop and implement Quality Plans for products in development and during NPI.
• Support design and process reviews from a quality perspective and ensure quality requirements are incorporated early in the product lifecycle.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives based on product, manufacturing and field performance.
• Develop and maintain relevant work instructions, quality procedures and technical documentation.
• Plan and conduct internal and external audits and support the continuous improvement of the Quality Management System.

Product Reliability & Qualification

• Coordinate FMEA activities, including DFMEA and PFMEA, with cross-functional engineering and manufacturing teams.
• Support product qualification and validation activities.
• Participate in the definition of reliability test plans and acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate and analyze environmental qualification testing.
• Analyze field and test failures and support reliability improvement actions.

Compliance & Certification

• Coordinate certification projects with external laboratories and certification bodies (UL, CE, etc.).
• Maintain product compliance with applicable international standards and regulations (IEC, RoHS, REACH, etc.).
• Prepare technical documentation required for product approvals.
• Support engineering teams during design reviews from regulatory and compliance perspectives.

Qualifications, Experience and Skills

Must Have

• B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering.
• 3+ years of experience in Quality Engineering, Manufacturing Quality, NPI Quality or a related engineering quality role.
• Hands-on experience leading quality issues, failure investigations, Root Cause Analysis and corrective actions.
• Experience working with multidisciplinary electro-mechanical products.
• Proven ability to drive cross-functional activities and work effectively with R&D, Engineering, NPI, Manufacturing and other technical stakeholders.
• Ability to identify quality risks, raise issues and independently drive them toward resolution.
• Fluent English (written and spoken); Hebrew required.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• Independent, self-driven, organized and systematic.

Preferred

• Experience with FMEA methodology, including DFMEA and/or PFMEA.
• Proficiency in Root Cause Analysis methodologies such as 8D, 5 Why and Ishikawa.
• Experience with product qualification and environmental testing.
• Experience with certification activities such as UL, IEC, CE or equivalent.
• Knowledge of statistical analysis and reliability methodologies.
• CQE/CQM certification.
• Familiarity with NetSuite or other ERP systems.
