What's in it for you?
Opportunity To Unlock Your Creativity
Think of all the times you were held back from trying new ideas because you were boxed in by bureaucratic legacy processes or old school tactics. Having a growth mindset is deeply ingrained into our company culture since day 1 so Fictiv is an environment where you have the creative liberty and support of the team to try big bold ideas to achieve our sales and customer goals.
Opportunity To Grow Your Career
At Fictiv, you'll be surrounded by supportive teammates who will push you to be your best through their curiosity and passion.
Position in Company
The Quality Systems Engineer reports to the regional Quality Manager but, as part of a global team, reports indirectly to the Head of Global Quality and will take on projects that are beyond the scope of their own region.
Impact of This Role
As the Quality Systems Engineer for the India Support Team, you will have a significant impact on maintaining and improving Fictiv's quality management system (QMS) locally. You will ensure that local execution of the QMS is consistent with the Fictiv corporate QMS and is compliant with the requirements of all internationally-recognized quality management system standards that Fictiv is registered to or claims compliance with. Many of Fictiv's customers require Fictiv to be registered to one of the main internationally-recognized QMS standards such as ISO9001:2015, as a prerequisite of doing business with Fictiv. Your role in ensuring we maintain our registration(s) is critical to ensure Fictiv qualifies to quote for jobs. Your role in ensuring Fictiv's QMS delivers outstanding results is critical in ensuring Fictiv wins jobs.
Although we believe that every Fictor can impact Quality, positively or negatively, your expertise and knowledge will be critical in guiding your colleagues to leverage the QMS and deliver primarily positive results. Collaborating with Fictors across all areas of the company will help you understand their activities better so that you can ensure the QMS adds value and doesn't become a burden for the organization. In return, you will help the Fictors understand the requirements of our QMS and the benefits from acting in compliance with it. This mutual understanding will result in continual improvement of Fictiv's global QMS and its local adaptation.
You will report directly to the Quality Manager, India and indirectly to the Head of Global Quality. You will assist from time to time with various duties as needed and assigned.
