Quality Engineer

Role: Quality Engineer

Contract: Via Randstad

This is a full-time, on-site role at Factory Best

Your role

As a Quality Engineer, you safeguard product quality by identifying risks, resolving defects, and leading improvements that make manufacturing processes more reliable and efficient.

What you’ll do most days

• Investigate product defects and decide on product disposition (use as-is, rework, scrap)

• Lead root cause analyses (8D, 5 Whys) and drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to closure

• Manage Non-Conformances (NC) and Quality Notifications (QN) and ensure issues progress

• Work closely with operators and engineers on the shopfloor to solve problems and keep orders moving

• Monitor quality performance (e.g. defects per unit, trends) and escalate risks to delivery

• Identify and lead improvements to reduce rework, improve flow, and increase first-time-right

What you’ll do regularly

• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) and product transfers into manufacturing

• Work with suppliers and Supplier Engineering (SE) to resolve incoming quality issues

• Support analytical testing and structured problem solving

• Ensure quality processes and documentation are followed

• Prepare clear quality reports and insights for stakeholders

• Coordinate quality topics across production, R&D, and suppliers

Why this role is interesting

• You’ll work in a low-volume, high-complexity environment where no day is the same

• You’ll have real impact on delivery performance, not just documentation

• You’ll be close to the product, process, and the people building it

• You’ll get ownership and freedom to drive improvements

You’ll be part of

Factory Best, one of the largest medical manufacturing sites within Health Systems. You’ll join the Quality Engineering team responsible for product quality across:

• Imaging Guide Therapy (IGT)

• Magnetic Resonance (MR)

• Diagnostic X-Ray (DXR)

• Service, Parts & Repair (SP&R)

• Imaging Components (IC)

• Circular equipment (CE)

• Field Analysis Lab (FAL)

You’ll work closely with Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, and R&D.

What you bring

To succeed in this role, you drive quality improvements and address issues before they affect product or delivery.

• You take end-to-end ownership of quality issues (from first signal to implemented solution)

• You work with a strong sense of urgency and focus on results

• You are hands-on and detail-oriented, comfortable on the shopfloor

• You are fact-driven and structured (e.g. 8D, DMAIC)

• You are proactive and independent, and involve the right stakeholders

• You are comfortable in a complex, high-mix environment

• You communicate effectively with operators, engineers, and management, and challenge when needed

Background

• BSc/MSc in Engineering (e.g. Industrial, Biomedical, Mechatronics or similar)

• 0-2+ years in manufacturing or engineering (high-tech preferred)

• Experience with quality systems (e.g. ISO 9001/13485/16949, FMEA, 8D, SPC)

• SAP (MES), Windchill, or Six Sigma Green Belt are a plus

• Fluent in English (Dutch is a plus)
