Director of Quality & Reliability Engineering
Boston Materials LLC, North Billerica, MA, United States
Quality Engineering Leader
Boston Materials produces advanced materials with enhanced energy transfer properties using its patented Z-axis Carbon Fiber technology. The Company's products solve critical performance bottlenecks in applications spanning thermal, electrical, and structural use cases. Its breakthrough Liquid Metal ZRT thermal interface material is designed for the most demanding AI Infrastructure. Boston Materials is committed to expanding high-volume manufacturing in the United States. Your Role In this role, you will lead and advance the Quality function at Boston Materials, ensuring our products, processes, and data consistently meet the expectations of the most demanding advanced semiconductor and AI datacenter customers. You are accountable for maintaining and strengthening the systems, rigor, and technical discipline required to operate as a high-performance manufacturing organization. This is not a compliance-driven position. It is a technical, hands-on role responsible for reinforcing and elevating the systems that define world-class manufacturing. You will embed quality into product design, process development, equipment qualification, supplier strategy, and customer validation. You will serve as the technical authority on process capability, statistical integrity, and long-term reliability performance. You will work directly alongside Product Development and Manufacturing to evaluate data, build systems, challenge assumptions, and ensure corrective actions are real and durable. Your mandate is clear: actively drive a Quality function that withstands the highest levels of scrutiny and enables Boston Materials to execute at scale without compromising performance, credibility, or speed. Your Responsibilities Own and scale the company's Quality Management System to support transition from pilot production to high-volume semiconductor manufacturing. Lead internal, customer, and supplier audits, ensuring sustained ISO compliance and readiness for hyperscaler, ODM and OSAT scrutiny. Design and deploy robust quality engineering systems including SPC, control plans, capability targets, and data-driven reaction plans. Implement formal risk management frameworks (PFMEA, change control, validation plans) across products and processes. Establish and lead root cause investigations and corrective actions using structured, data-driven methodologies (8D, DMAIC, DOE). Partner with Manufacturing on equipment qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ), process validation, and release-to-manufacturing programs. Own product reliability strategy and statistical qualification reporting to support customer approval and long-term performance confidence. Develop and oversee supplier quality systems including qualification, audits, scorecards, and corrective action management. Your Required Skills and Expertise 10+ years in Quality Engineering or Quality Leadership within advanced manufacturing, semiconductor, materials, or electronics industries. Deep hands-on experience with SPC, MSA, DOE, PFMEA, and process capability analysis. Proven track record supporting customer qualification in high-reliability applications. Experience scaling from pilot/R&D environments into structured HVM environments. Strong understanding of reliability testing methodologies and statistical analysis. Demonstrated success leading audits (customer and registrar). Experience implementing or integrating SPC software with ERP/MES systems. Strong technical fluency; able to engage deeply with materials scientists and process engineers. Clear communicator who can translate data into business risk and decision frameworks. Comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup environment while building durable systems.
