Process Validation & Continuous Improvement: Develop PFMEAs, establish SPC for critical processes, and apply statistical methods and Lean/Six Sigma practices to reduce scrap, rework, and process variation
Testing & Inspection: Develop quality verification plans, coordinate factory acceptance testing (FAT) and qualification activities, and ensure calibrated measurement equipment is used throughout
QMS & Compliance: Support implementation of the Quality Management System, maintain quality documentation and traceability, and support internal, external, and supplier audits
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Procurement, and Construction/Commissioning to resolve quality, manufacturability, and installation issues
What You'll Bring to the Team:
Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline

Quality Planning: Experience developing inspection plans, control plans, PFMEAs, and manufacturing quality procedures
Statistical Quality Tools: Working knowledge of statistical quality tools, SPC, process capability, and MSA
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Ability to collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and operations teams
Core Skills: Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills
Safety and Compliance: Position is designated a safety-sensitive position located in safety-sensitive facilities. Mandatory participation in company safety, background check, drug, and alcohol programs is required.

Quality Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a quality engineer in Colorado?
Most Colorado employers require a bachelor's degree in mechanical, industrial, or manufacturing engineering as the starting point. Colorado does not issue a state license specifically for quality engineers, so the credential that carries the most weight with local employers is the ASQ Certified Quality Engineer designation, which requires passing the ASQ CQE exam and documenting relevant work experience. Many Colorado aerospace and defense employers also expect familiarity with AS9100 auditing from day one.
Which companies hire quality engineers in Colorado?
Employers hiring quality engineers in Colorado right now include Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems USA, and Katalyst Healthcares & Life Sciences, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Colorado's concentration of aerospace, defense, and medical device manufacturers means these openings frequently call for sector-specific quality systems experience rather than general manufacturing backgrounds.
Which Colorado cities have the most quality engineer jobs?
Colorado Springs, Littleton, and Denver account for the largest share of quality engineer openings in Colorado. Denver and its suburbs drive volume through a broad mix of aerospace primes, contract manufacturers, and medical device companies, while Colorado Springs reflects the heavy defense and satellite manufacturing presence at facilities tied to Peterson Space Force Base, and Loveland and Fort Collins attract openings from the medical device and semiconductor corridor along the Front Range.
Are there remote quality engineer jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. Quality engineer work is heavily tied to production floors, inspection labs, and supplier audits, so most Colorado roles require on-site presence at least part of the week. About 70% of quality engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to be supplier quality or quality systems roles where documentation, audit scheduling, and corrective action management can be handled off-site.
How can I get hired as a quality engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a quality technician or inspection technician role, which many Colorado aerospace and medical device manufacturers use as a direct pipeline into engineering-track positions. Employers such as Lockheed Martin and Medtronic run structured new-graduate and rotational programs at their Colorado facilities. Earning the ASQ Certified Quality Technician credential before applying, or completing coursework in GD&T and SPC, signals readiness to hiring managers. Community colleges across the Front Range also offer manufacturing quality certificates that align with local employer requirements.
