Senior CMF Quality Engineer

What You Will Do:

• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) through development builds, ramp-up, mass production, and steady state expansion efforts, with a focus on CMF surfaces and finishes.
• Partner directly with the CMF Design team to translate color, material, and finish direction into manufacturable, scalable, and quality-controlled production processes.
• Own and maintain master color/material standards, golden samples, and build units throughout the product development lifecycle, ensuring every physical sample and document is tracked and traceable across design, engineering, and manufacturing.
• Develop and implement quality systems, control plans, and measurement methods — including colorimetry, spectrophotometry, and gloss/sheen measurement — for coatings and surface treatments such as PVD, anodization, electroplating, laser texturing/etching, and soft-touch coatings.
• Lead build readiness reviews focused on CMF quality deliverables, including equipment readiness, process qualification, and post-build cosmetic and finish data analysis, to facilitate design and process improvements.
• Identify and effectively communicate CMF-specific process risks — including color shift, adhesion/delamination, mura, orange peel, pinholes, and texture inconsistency — using data-driven approaches to facilitate discussions and improvements across Oura teams and suppliers.
• Analyze and evaluate data to establish appropriate cosmetic and finish spec limits (e.g. color Delta-E, gloss units, texture roughness, adhesion/tape-pull, corrosion resistance, wear resistance) as well as corresponding process control limits.
• Hold running reviews with CMF Designers and process engineers to align on color and finish targets, schedules, and sample status, translating technical findings for design, engineering, and manufacturing audiences.
• Scale up suppliers and processes to meet production goals, including yield targets, line capacity (UPH), process capability (CPK), and equipment and headcount requirements for coating and finishing lines.
• Conduct supplier audits and drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance supplier CMF performance, including qualification of coating, plating, texturing, and finishing processes.
