Angstrom Engineering Inc.

Angstrom Engineering Inc.

Quality Assurance
Kitchener, ON, Canada · Cambridge, ON, Canada
Posted on Mar 20, 2026

RESPONSIBILITIES & EXPECTATIONS

  • Own the company’s “lessons learned pipeline”—from discovery to verification to implementation across engineering, production, and field service.
  • Drive corrective action and preventive action (CAPA) workflows to closure with clear accountability, documentation, and follow through.
  • Ensure engineering changes, design updates, and process improvements are systematically deployed across active and future projects.
  • Lead the supplier quality function, including supplier performance monitoring, root cause investigations, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Champion standardization efforts, especially as Angstrom expands its semi standard product lines and begins pre building inventory.
  • Collaborate with Project Managers, Engineering, Production, and Service teams to ensure improved designs and practices are adopted consistently.
  • Build and maintain quality metrics, dashboards, and reporting structures that allow the organization to measure and react to trends.
  • Promote a culture of ownership and accountability that moves the organization away from a project by project mindset toward systemic improvement of products and technologies.

Quality Systems & Continuous Improvement

  • Develop, maintain, and enforce Angstrom’s internal quality and engineering standards.
  • Implement and improve processes for defect prevention, variation reduction, and operational consistency.
  • Run regular cross‑functional reviews of quality issues, design updates, and field learnings.
  • Manage the root‑cause analysis process (5‑Why, Fishbone, FMEA, etc.) and verify corrective actions.

Engineering Change & Standardization

  • Work with engineering teams to define and maintain standard modules, documentation, and design practices.
  • Ensure that changes resulting from quality or field learnings are included in all relevant future builds.
  • Maintain traceability and documentation of changes across product variants and custom systems.

Supplier Quality Management

  • Evaluate supplier capabilities, quality risks, and readiness for critical components.
  • Lead supplier audits, on‑site visits, and performance assessments.
  • Manage supplier corrective actions, quality agreements, and improvement plans.
  • Provide feedback and long‑term strategy input to Supply Chain leadership.

Cross‑Functional Leadership & Culture Change

  • Interface with project managers to ensure that improvements persist across programs—not only within a single job.
  • Develop lightweight, practical processes that fit an engineer‑to‑order environment.
  • Provide training and coaching to reinforce quality culture and change adoption.

What Makes This A Great Role
  • Proven experience supervising or leading a team within an accounting function.
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to assess and resolve financial issues.
  • Proficient in Excel and other financial systems; ability to learn new software quickly.
  • Effective communicator with a collaborative, team-oriented mindset.
  • High attention to detail with a commitment to accuracy and integrity.
    Demonstrated ability to manage multiple responsibilities and meet deadlines.
