About this role
Last Energy is seeking a Quality & Test Engineer to help manage the quality processes underpinning our manufacturing scale-up. This role operates at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and supplier quality. A strong engineering generalist who can apply core mechanical, manufacturing, or systems engineering fundamentals to root cause analysis, inspection planning, and process control will thrive in this role.
Key Duties & Responsibilities • Support inspection plans, acceptance criteria, and work instructions for fabricated and assembled components
• Lead or support root cause analysis and corrective/preventive action (CAPA) for nonconformances found in receiving, fabrication, or assembly
• Partner with manufacturing and design engineering on tolerance stack-up, process capability (Cpk), and statistical process control (SPC)
• Support supplier quality activities, including source inspections, supplier audits, and first article inspection reviews
• Help develop and execute test programs for procured or fabricated items requiring additional verification beyond standard receiving inspection (e.g., functional, performance, or environmental testing)
• Contribute to build-out of Last Energy's formal quality management system, including alignment with Applicable Industry Quality Standards
• Participate in design and process FMEAs alongside engineering counterparts
• Maintain quality records, documentation control, and traceability for safety-related components
• Translate quality data into practical engineering recommendations for the manufacturing and development teams
Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, Aerospace, or a related engineering discipline
• 2-5 years of engineering experience — this may be in design, manufacturing, test, or process engineering; formal quality experience is not required
• Solid grounding in engineering fundamentals: GD&T, basic statistics, and root cause methodologies (5-Why, fishbone, etc.)
• Comfort reading and marking up engineering drawings and CAD models
• Genuine interest in moving into (or further into) quality engineering as a discipline
• Strong written communication skills for documenting findings and driving corrective actions across teams
• Experience in a highly regulated manufacturing environment is a plus

Published on Lever under the board identifier Last Energy, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
