Quality Engineer Nonwoven -1445

A leading nonwoven textiles manufacturer is seeking a Quality Engineer with 2–3 years of hands-on experience in nonwoven / extrusion-based nonwoven production or textile manufacturing quality. This role supports quality engineering activities to ensure consistent fiber and fabric performance across spunbond and/or meltblown processes. The Quality Engineer will work closely with production, engineering, and quality teams to monitor process performance, investigate quality issues, and drive continuous improvement initiatives. Experience with hygiene-grade nonwoven extrusion is highly desirable.

Key Responsibilities

• Support quality activities across extrusion, fiber spinning, web formation, and bonding processes.
• Monitor and analyze textile performance characteristics including basis weight (GSM), fiber diameter, filament distribution, tensile strength, elongation, and fabric uniformity.
• Perform quality inspections and support the identification and resolution of fabric defects such as streaks, holes, thin/thick areas, and contamination.
• Assist with structured problem-solving activities using tools such as 5 Whys, 8D, root cause analysis, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Collect and analyze process data using Statistical Process Control (SPC) methods to identify trends and reduce process variation.
• Work with production teams to optimize extrusion process parameters including temperature, throughput, quenc
