Last Energy is seeking a Quality & Test Engineer to help manage the quality processes underpinning our manufacturing scale-up. This role operates at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and supplier quality. A strong engineering generalist who can apply core mechanical, manufacturing, or systems engineering fundamentals to root cause analysis, inspection planning, and process control will thrive in this role.
Key Duties & Responsibilities
Support inspection plans, acceptance criteria, and work instructions for fabricated and assembled components
Lead or support root cause analysis and corrective/preventive action (CAPA) for nonconformances found in receiving, fabrication, or assembly
Partner with manufacturing and design engineering on tolerance stack-up, process capability (Cpk), and statistical process control (SPC)
Support supplier quality activities, including source inspections, supplier audits, and first article inspection reviews
Help develop and execute test programs for procured or fabricated items requiring additional verification beyond standard receiving inspection (e.g., functional, performance, or environmental testing)
Contribute to build-out of Last Energy's formal quality management system, including alignment with ASME NQA-1 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B expectations
Participate in design and process FMEAs alongside engineering counterparts
Maintain quality records, documentation control, and traceability for safety-related components
Translate quality data into practical engineering recommendations for the manufacturing and development teams
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, Aerospace, or a related engineering discipline
2-5 years of engineering experience — this may be in design, manufacturing, test, or process engineering; formal quality experience is not required
Solid grounding in engineering fundamentals: GD&T, basic statistics, and root cause methodologies (5-Why, fishbone, etc.)
Comfort reading and marking up engineering drawings and CAD models
Genuine interest in moving into (or further into) quality engineering as a discipline
Strong written communication skills for documenting findings and driving corrective actions across teams
Experience in a highly regulated manufacturing environment is a plus
