At G&H Torquay, we're one of a number of global technology leaders that form the Torbay Hi-Tech Cluster, bringing a concentration of expertise and innovation in photonics and microelectronics to the South Devon region.

ROLE

As Product Assurance Engineer, you will take full ownership of product-related quality investigations across all value streams, with primary responsibility for RMA management, non-conformance control, MRB leadership, and CAPA deployment.

This role is focused on protecting the customer, eliminating repeat defects, and driving structured problem resolution using disciplined root cause methodologies. You will act as the operational bridge between Manufacturing Engineering, Quality and Operations, ensuring rapid containment, robust corrective action, and clear customer communication.

RESPONSIBILITIES

RMA & Customer Returns

Support cross functional teams with the end-to-end RMA process across all value streams.
Enable structured investigations into product returns using 8D and CAPA methodology.
Drive rapid containment, root cause validation, and corrective action implementation.
Provide clear, structured investigation reports (including Pareto reporting where applicable).
Maintain proactive weekly communications regarding investigation progress and resolution status.
Analyse and trend recurring RMA data to eliminate systemic repeat issues.

Non-Conformance & MRB

Support MRB (Material Review Board) activities.
Define and standardise non-conformance criteria by clearly determining “What good quality looks like.”
Drive improvements to the MRB process to ensure linkage to 8D, CAPA and corrective actions.
Ensure production non-conformances are investigated, resolved, and prevented from recurrence.

Supplier & Raw Material Quality

Support Supplier Discrepancy Reports (SDRs) for raw material defects.
Work closely with Supply Chain to ensure root cause closure.
Track, trend and report supplier-related non-conformances and repeat issues.
Support incoming inspection analysis and reporting improvements

CAPA & Continuous Improvement

Act as CAPA Champion across all value streams.
Ensure corrective and preventive actions are robust, verified and effective.
Drive structured problem-solving methodologies (8D, 5-Why, Fishbone, Pareto, etc.).
Trend investigation data (RMA, MRB, SDR, production non-conformance) to identify systemic weaknesses.

MANDATORY RESPONSIBILITIES

Adherence to all Company policies, management systems and standard operational procedures, including legal responsibilities in relation to Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality systems.
Working positively to develop and foster good working relationships with colleagues and contracted personnel to maintain a culture of mutual respect and dignity.
Promote and display the G&H values: Customer focus, Integrity, Action, Unity, Precision.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Reduction in recurring RMA defects
RMA cycle time & investigation closure rate
Reduction in Cost of Poor Quality (CoPQ)
MRB ageing and resolution effectiveness
Supplier defect recurrence rate
CAPA effectiveness and audit compliance

PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

Drive and Determination
Innovation, Creativity & Deliver Results
Proactive and solutions-oriented mindset.
Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Detail-oriented with a focus on quality and precision.
Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast-paced environment

SKILLS AND ABILITIES

Degree in engineering, manufacturing, or a related field preferred.
Experience in quality or manufacturing engineering, with experience in fibre optic, photonics or modular system & device manufacturing environments preferred.
Strong understanding of product assembly, testing, and handling processes.
Experience with NPI, including PFMEA, process validation, and product line transfers.
Proficiency in Lean, Six Sigma, or other CI methodologies.
Familiarity with manufacturing metrics such as yield, cycle time, and productivity.
Technical understanding of root cause analysis, and corrective action implementation.

25 days - rising up to 30 days annual leave (phased with long service)
Corporate Cash Plan
Salary Sacrifice Pension Scheme
Enhanced Employee Assistance Programme
