DESCRIPTION quip is seeking a Senior Product Quality Engineer to own supplier quality, manufacturing quality, and product reliability for our consumer hardware products. This role partners closely with engineering and global manufacturing partners to identify field issues, drive root cause analysis, and improve product performance at scale. This role is full time on-site Monday-Thursday in our DUMBO, Brooklyn design studio, with Fridays remote. Base Salary: $150k-$190K This range represents anticipated base salary range for this position, in addition to competitive benefits and equity (as applicable). We carefully assess and consider several factors with each candidate, including location, role-related knowledge, experience and skills. Compensation may vary based on these considerations. Work Authorization: This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States and must not require quip to initiate, transfer, maintain, extend, or otherwise support an employment-based immigration status now or in the future.

Design Handoff & Spec Tuning: Work closely with the design team and suppliers during NPI to transfer critical design requirements into assembly and testing fixtures. Review early test data, driving alignment between Engineering and CM’s to establish test thresholds that are sensitive enough to intercept defects, while aligning with the supplier’s true process capability. Reliability & Lifecycle Testing: Own the Reliability testing program. Define Ongoing Reliability Testing (ORT) requirements for factory partners and monitor long-term durability and "wear and tear" trends. Quality Data Reporting & Prioritization: Own the "Single Source of Truth" for quality. Manage the ingestion of CX/RMA data, build reporting dashboards, and provide data-driven direction on where to focus engineering investigations. Hands-on RCA & Teardowns: Collaborate with the engineering team in physical product teardowns and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of field failures and customer returns.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
