We currently operate globally with our ~50 employees working from home and from offices in the US, UK, Hong Kong, and the Philippines.  As a company we believe strongly in investing in our infrastructure and brand development, as well as fostering the kind of culture that our team can be proud of. With a strong commitment to excellence, we are seeking a QA/QC Engineer to help support important aspects of product development with both internal and external partners.

What you’ll do in this role

Responsible for maintaining high standards of compliance and quality of new and existing product lines at factory level. The candidate will be involved in the product development process, acting as our internal expert and knowledge bank on product compliance and safety standards.

You will conduct factory audits (current and prospective) and perform spot checks, so as to ensure ongoing compliance. Additionally, this position will help interface between our US product development team and our Asia-Pacific manufacturing partners regarding QA/QC & assembly standards and documentation. By doing so they will ensure all key stakeholders (i.e. PD and Ops) are kept up to date on product specific concerns and measures, as well as general factory-specific measures implemented.

The ideal candidate for this role will be a detail-oriented self-starter and problem solver, experienced in quality control ideally within the consumer electronics and/or toy industry. Someone with a background or experience in polymers (specifically thermo plastics), knowledge around food regulations in addition to Consumer Electronics and Toy would be preferred.

Location: Hong Kong Office (remote optional)

Benefits: We offer comprehensive benefits including Medical and Dental insurance, paid vacation & sick days, holiday time off, employee discounts, and learning & development opportunities.

Key Responsibilities:

This role is focussed around the follow four core areas:

1. Documentation: Create and maintain standards documents ensuring product success at various stages including: product specifications, assembly & testing on-the-line, Incoming & Outgoing QC specifications. Develop (and implement) guidelines for new factory vetting. In this capacity you will also help to create testing QA/QC specifications and oversee their implementation with our manufacturing partners during the product development process and until mass production is smoothly running.

2. Audit: Conduct factory audits (current and prospective) and perform spot checks, so as to ensure ongoing compliance by factory with manufacturing processes, QA/QC processes, and regulatory requirements.

3.

4.

This role will make a significant impact by helping identify these issues at the beginning of the product development process, so the onward path for Operations and Sales is clear, and delays or regulatory surprises are avoided.
