Product Quality Engineer, Hardware

As a Product Quality Engineer at Meta, you will take responsibility to ensure that the product produced in the manufacturing site meets the requirements defined by the team, covering product cosmetic, function, and reliability. You will take responsibility to make sure the proper quality control system is in place from incoming to shipping. You will do so by taking ownership in the product development stage to identify the potential process/product risks and work with the engineering team for risk elimination. You need to develop an efficient quality control and monitoring mechanism in the manufacturing site to make sure the deviation in the process is under control as well as the product's outgoing quality.
