The Quality Engineer – ORT Processes supports the execution and monitoring of Ongoing Reliability Testing (ORT) activities during serial production. Working closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Laboratory, and Failure Analysis teams, you will help ensure reliability testing is completed on time, results are accurately captured, and potential quality or reliability concerns are identified early.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys coordinating technical activities, analysing data, and supporting product quality improvement within a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You will play an important role in ensuring reliability testing supports product performance, customer expectations, and continuous improvement initiatives across the business.

Being part of our dynamic and high-performing Quality team, your key responsibilities will include:

• Support the implementation of ORT plans, including sample coordination, test scheduling, and progress tracking.
• Coordinate reliability testing activities with laboratory teams to ensure timely execution.
• Monitor ongoing tests and maintain visibility of testing status, priorities, and deadlines.
• Raise and follow up on test requests while ensuring results are received and recorded accurately.
• Identify and escalate delays, issues, or deviations impacting testing activities.
• Collect, organise, and maintain reliability test data with a high level of accuracy and traceability.
• Perform basic analysis of test results to identify anomalies, trends, or potential reliability concerns.
• Support the preparation of reports, presentations, and summaries for stakeholders.
• Assist with investigations into reliability failures by coordinating data, samples, and additional testing requirements.
• Maintain ORT documentation and records in line with quality system and audit requirements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives focused on improving testing efficiency, reporting, and process effectiveness.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Engineering, Laboratory, and Failure Analysis teams to support product reliability improvements.
