Temporary Master Engineering Management Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Engineering Coordinator is a key member of the Engineering Management Team (EMT) at Quality Electrical Systems. This role owns sprint governance and cross-discipline coordination for Electrical Engineering (EE) and Mechanical Engineering (ME) teams, ensuring engineering work flows efficiently from intake through delivery.

Reporting to the Engineering Integration Manager, this position operates at the intersection of engineering execution and project management. The Engineering Coordinator protects engineering capacity, drives sprint discipline, and serves as the primary interface between Operations Project Managers and the engineering organization, ensuring engineers remain focused on engineering activities while supporting on-time project execution.

This role is instrumental in maintaining sprint health, coordinating engineering deliverables, supporting engineering change processes, and driving continuous improvement initiatives within a fast-paced Engineer-to-Order (ETO) manufacturing environment.
