Quality Engineer

This position is a key role in ensuring both product and production excellence in one of the first large scale European battery factories. The impact that Ett will have on the transformation of both the European automotive industry and the move to a carbon free society cannot be overstated.
This position will be in charge of all Quality aspects of the new site and factory. Key to this success will be to build and lead a competent and dependable Team from scratch.
Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Continue to build a world class Team of Quality scientists, engineers, and technicians who are dedicated to the collective mission of energy system disruption.
Ensure the site is compliant with the Northvolt Quality Management System and ensure successful implementation and continued certification of ISO9001, ISO14001, IATF16949 and other relevant standards. This includes managing customer audits.
Use the methodologies developed in supporting the above compliances to drive continuous improvement (e.g. PFMEAs, control plans, Cpk, Kaizen principles, etc.). This is not a position about creating paperwork, it is about using the fundamentals of quality systems to consistently achieve product and production excellence.
Drive your Team to carry a proactive results-driven approach even in reactive situations (e.g. NC management, 8D completion, or customer complaints). Embrace quality science and use data to drive fact-based decision making.
Grow and feed the Team on a culture of continuous improvement and challenging assumptions. Build a high level of Team trust, and then ensure an open atmosphere where debate and professional exchange of ideas are encouraged.
