Quality Management & Document Control Engineer (m/f/d)

Are you ready to shape the quality standards of a state-of-the-art semiconductor fab from the ground up?

As a Quality Management & Document Control Engineer (m/f/d) at ESMC, you will bridge the gap between our Taiwanese headquarters and our brand-new greenfield facility in Dresden. Starting on January 2027, you will own the Document Control System, ensure compliance with international quality standards, and coordinate internal, customer, and third-party audits.

By running trainings and cross-departmental programs, you will champion a proactive quality culture across the Fab. If you are a detail-oriented professional with initial QA experience looking to make a lasting impact on Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem, we want you on our team!

Job Responsibilities

1. System Ownership: Administer and maintain the site-wide Document Control System (DCS) to guarantee database integrity, document effectiveness, and smooth annual document review processes.

2. Audit Management: Independently plan, execute, and follow up on internal quality audits, customer audits, and third-party quality system certifications.

3. Continuous Improvement: Track and drive the implementation of corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) resulting from audits and quality reviews.

4. Promote Quality Culture: Collaborate with the Fab engineering and manufacturing teams to develop and host quality-related training sessions, workshops, and symposiums.

5. HQ Collaboration: Leverage resources, documentation standards, and best practices from our headquarters to build a reliable local quality framework.

6. Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all document management and quality processes comply with German/European regulations, customer requirements, and standard quality frameworks.

Job Qualifications

Must-Have:

1. Education: Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Engineering, Natural Sciences, Quality & Reliability, or a related technical field.

2. Experience: 1 to 3 years of professional experience in the semiconductor, automotive, or highly regulated electronics manufacturing industries with a focus on Quality Systems (QS) or Quality Assurance (QA).

3. Methodology & Tools: Solid familiarity with standard Quality Control tools, 8D problem-solving methodologies, and core automotive quality tools (such as SPC, MSA, FMEA, APQP, PPAP).

4. Languages: Fluency in English (written and spoken) for daily international collaboration.

5. Working Style: Highly organized, detail-oriented, and resilient under pressure in a fast-paced environment.

Nice-to-Have:

1. Initial experience or certified qualification as an auditor (e.g., ISO 9001, IATF 16949, or VDA 6.3).

2. Basic programming/querying skills in SQL (Structured Query Language) for quality data extraction.

3. Familiarity with the local German business ecosystem and manufacturing regulations.

4. Basic conversational skills in German and/or Mandarin.

Why Join ESMC?

1. Help build a completely new semiconductor manufacturing site in Europe.

2. Work in a highly international environment with colleagues across Europe, Taiwan and the US.

3. Shape processes instead of maintaining existing structures.

4. Participate in global projects and cross-functional collaboration.

5. International onboarding including approximately 9-12 months of training in Taiwan.
