Support New Product Introduction (NPI) through development builds, ramp-up, mass production, and steady state expansion efforts
Serve as the bridge between Design, Engineering, and Operations, translating complex technical risks into actionable business decisions to drive Oura’s quality initiatives
Analyze build failure data to identify design and process marginalities, ensuring that yield loss is understood from a quality risk perspective, not just a volume perspective
Lead build readiness reviews, focusing on quality deliverables such as equipment readiness, process qualification, and post-build quality data analysis to understand system level interactions and assembly tolerance stackups that drive design and process improvements
Establish and enforce the standard for “premium” quality by defining cosmetic specifications, managing golden/limit samples, and aligning design, engineering, and factory teams on subjective criteria (fit, finish, and feel) early in the NPI process.
Identify and effectively communicate design and process risks, using data-driven approaches to facilitate discussions and improvements across Oura teams and suppliers
Analyze and evaluate data to establish appropriate sub-assembly / system level spec limits including cosmetic, dimensional, functional/reliability as well as establish process controls limits
Validate that CM processes produce units that meet cosmetic, reliability, and functional design intent.

Experience with quality engineering in high volume hand held / wearable and/or consumer products manufacturing with high cosmetic standards
Experience qualifying and auditing manufacturing processes including PSA/HAF attach, epoxy dispense/molding/curing, and solder/hotbar/laser weld
Experience developing robust IQC / IPQC / OQC controls, including AOI / cosmetics, sampling plans, SOP/MSOP, user-based product testing, OBA, and dimensional control
Understanding of quality principles and tools such as GRR, SPC, FA/CA, 8D, FMEA, and DOEs.
Understanding of manufacturing principles and tools such as DFM, GD&T, and Six Sigma methodologies for variability reduction
Self-driven and eager problem solver who thrives in demanding quick-paced environments
Highly organized with the ability to clearly and succinctly communicate complex concepts through presentations and written communication, such as slide decks and email
Able to set up systems to capture reliable and meaningful data to help drive critical process improvements and enhance product/component design
