About the role 

As the Quality Engineering Manager at Double E’s West Bridgewater facility, you will be the hands-on owner of the quality process for our high-mix, low-volume onsite production.

• Provide day-to-day direction, coaching, and technical support to quality and inspection resources while remaining personally engaged in urgent and complex quality issues.
