Quality Engineer

I. The Role

Atlas manufactures electric motors and components for drones and robotics. As Quality Engineer, you will build quality controls for our growing Philippine manufacturing operation. Work with Manufacturing Engineering, Design Engineering, Production and Supply Chain to prevent defects, resolve failures and deliver products to specification. This hands-on role requires regular work on the production floor, strong analysis and follow-through on corrective actions

II. What You Own

Six operating areas define the role. Build practical controls while supporting the production ramp.

Production Quality Controls

• Develop inspection plans, control plans, acceptance criteria and inspection instructions.
• Control incoming materials, in-process assemblies and finished motors against approved specifications.
• Train operators and inspectors on workmanship, defect recognition and escalation.

Process & Product Qualification

• Support first-article inspections, pilot builds and qualification of new equipment and processes.
• Assess quality risks from changes to designs, tooling, materials and manufacturing methods.
• Work with engineering on process FMEA and dimensional, mechanical and electrical checks.

Defects & Corrective Actions

• Lead root-cause investigations using 5 Whys, fishbone analysis and 8D.
• Contain suspect material; ensure segregation, identification and traceability.
• Coordinate authorized disposition, verify approved rework and confirm corrective actions prevent recurrence.

Supplier & Partner Quality

• Resolve incoming defects and production quality issues with suppliers and contract manufacturers.
• Follow up on containment and corrective actions; verify their effectiveness.
• Work with Supply Chain and Engineering to align requirements and escalate recurring quality risks

Measurement & Quality Systems

• Validate inspection methods, fixtures and test equipment; support gauge studies and calibration controls.
• Maintain lot, inspection, nonconformance and corrective-action records.
• Support internal audits, traceability and development of the quality management system.

Yield & Continuous Improvement

• Track first-pass yield, scrap, rework, defect trends and customer quality issues.
• Use data to identify recurring losses and drive measurable improvements.
• Work with production and engineering to reduce defects, sustain improvements and deliver

conforming products on schedule.

III. What We Are Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Industrial, Manufacturing Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• 3+ years of quality engineering experience in manufacturing, preferably electromechanical products, electronics, automotive components or precision assemblies.
• Experience developing inspection procedures, resolving production defects and implementing corrective actions.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications and tolerances. Practical experience with measuring instruments and manufacturing inspection or test equipment.
• Working knowledge of root-cause analysis, control plans, process FMEA, statistical process control and measurement system analysis.
• Strong data analysis, documentation and communication skills; ownership of issues through resolution.
• Ability to work on-site in Biñan, Laguna and support hands-on production-floor investigations.

Nice to Have

• Experience with electric motors, winding, rotor assembly, bearings, adhesives or automated assembly.
• Experience with ISO 9001 quality systems, supplier quality, audits or customer complaints.
• Experience in a startup, new factory or production ramp.
• Familiarity with APQP/PPAP, Lean Six Sigma or process capability analysis.
