Job Description
We're looking for a sharp, motivated Quality Technician to join our growing team in Lyons, Kansas — someone who brings a keen eye for detail, a structured mindset, and a genuine desire to learn and grow within a quality function. You don't need to have seen it all before; what matters is that you're rigorous, curious, and committed to doing things right. In this role, you will play a hands-on part in monitoring the quality of our machines from incoming components through to finished product, helping us build and improve the processes that keep our manufacturing operation running at a high standard.
Reports to the Quality Manager. Works closely with production, engineering, supply chain, and industrialization teams internally. Serves as the on-site Ecorobotix quality presence at our assembly partner facility in Lyons, Kansas, with regular coordination with that team. Occasional travel to Switzerland may be expected.
Your future assignments
Incoming & Final Quality Control
- Perform incoming inspections of parts and components — checking dimensions, conformity to drawings, and documentation completeness
- Conduct final inspections of machines prior to shipment and formally release units that meet quality standards
- Record inspection results accurately and determine product conformity based on established criteria
Production & Assembly Support
- Monitor the assembly process to ensure work is being carried out in line with quality standards and procedures
- Support production teams on-site in identifying and resolving quality deviations as they arise
- Analyze deviations against technical and documentation requirements and flag patterns or recurring issues
- Provide quality oversight of subassembly and full machine QC checks carried out by the production team
Non-Conformity Management
- Manage internal, supplier, and customer non-conformities from identification through to resolution
- Lead or participate in root cause analyses using structured problem-solving tools (8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa)
- Track corrective and preventive actions to ensure they are implemented effectively and on time
- Serve as the primary Ecorobotix point of contact at the production site for quality-related issues
Reporting & Continuous Improvement
- Track and report on key quality indicators — non-conformity rates, scrap, response times, and trends
- Prepare regular quality reports for management with clear findings and recommended actions
- Actively participate in defining, documenting, and improving internal quality procedures
- Bring a continuous improvement mindset to everything you do — identify what's not working and propose better ways
Experience required
- Associate's or bachelor's degree in Quality, Industrial Production, Engineering Technology, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience
- 2+ years of experience in a manufacturing, production, or technical environment; direct quality experience is a plus but not required if you can demonstrate strong attention to detail and structured thinking
- Comfortable reading and interpreting mechanical drawings and basic electrical schematics — or eager to learn
- Familiarity with quality problem-solving tools (8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa, FMEA) is a plus; we'll invest in training the right person
- Strong Excel and data recording skills — you're organized and accurate with information
- A self-starter who takes ownership, follows through, and communicates clearly with teammates and partners
- Comfortable working on-site in an active manufacturing environment with a high degree of daily independence
- Familiarity with an ERP system (Odoo or similar) is a plus
