Description

ProEdge Dental Water Labs:

ProEdge Dental Water Labs is a team of selfless builders. By putting our focus on the success of customers, we've created a healthy, quickly-growing, and dynamic company. Our ~60 team members have taken on a significant challenge: transform compliance in the dental practice – often a distinct pain for our customers – into a culture of shared purpose for the safety of patients and staff. By keeping our promises and developing value-based solutions, we've created an emerging brand in dental.

Because of that, ProEdge, “good work” is table stakes. What we’re building requires something rarer from its leaders: those who choose the harder path for the sake of the team, who continue to grow even when they’re already good, and who bring the kind of relentless pursuit of delivering concrete value to the customer, not just building a stronger resume. This is a place for low-ego, high-agency, problem-solvers who think deeply and execute to excellence.

If you’re looking for a role where you can own meaningful problems, build with a great team, and transform an entire category through trust... keep reading.

Director of Quality Engineering Opportunity:

ProEdge is seeking a Director of Quality Engineering to shift quality from compliance inspection and documentation to defect prevention and process control within 12 months, driving operational consistency, fewer defects, stronger audit outcomes, and developing a small team. This position focuses primarily in quality engineering and process improvement (primary focus), serves as the effectiveness owner of the Quality Management System (QMS), and provides regulatory oversight aligned to FDA and ISO standards.

This is not a compliance-first role, but a quality-first role. Reporting to the President of the organization, you’ll have significant responsibility to deliver measurable improvements in process reliability, powers our product pipeline, and transforms quality into a competitive advantage.

If you're a systems-thinking problem-solver who dissects root causes with tenacity and champions proactive quality every day, leading with true humility, transparency, and collaboration... keep reading.

Success Looks Like:

  1. Lead the validation and successful launch of new Class I medical devices, ensuring 100% compliance with FDA general controls and ISO 13485 standards. 
  2. Implement 3-5 targeted process optimizations (e.g., Lean/Six Sigma tools) that reduce process variability and improve first-pass yield by 15-25% by 18 months.
  3. Drive process-related non-conformances and defects to near 0 through targeted engineering improvements and root cause analyses by 18 months.
  4. Support regulatory compliance for new products and ongoing operations, achieving zero major findings in internal/external audits by 18 months.
  5. Own and elevate the executive management review process, delivering proactive quality and regulatory insights that shape product roadmap decisions, risk mitigation, and cross-functional priorities.
  6. Quality is fully integrated, trusted, and supported as a strategic partner across organization culture and decision-making to customer/patient benefit.

The Toolkit You'll Bring:

  • Problem-solver – Candidate is disciplined with root cause to improve systems rather than shifting problems
  • Results – Candidate has a strong record of continuous improvement leading to better business outcomes
  • Collaborative – Candidate seeks out others' ideas and critiques, while not needing consensus
  • Entrepreneurial Grit – Candidate works hard, gets hands dirty, and moves things forward even with setbacks
  • High standards – Candidate is unsatisfied with checking regulatory boxes rather than pursuing excellence and prevention

Who You'll Be:

  • Humble – Candidate is team-first and self-improving
  • Transparent – Candidate tells the truth even when it may put them in a vulnerable position
  • Customer-focus – Candidate recognizes the work is for a customer and patient's benefit, and puts them in the heart of every process
  • Discerning – Candidate makes consistently wise decisions
  • Smart - Candidate can clearly communicate their thinking, distilling, and learning

A Note About In-Office/Hybrid:

This is an in-office role with a core schedule of 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, with hybrid flexibility. ProEdge genuinely cares about the health of all team members. All of us are real people with real lives – appointments, kids get sick, moments at home we wouldn't dare miss, or the every-so-often need for a deep focus day away from the pop-ins. We’re a team that supports each other, including when those realities pop up, and offer overflowing flexibility.

That said, being a leader in process reliability and improvement at ProEdge means you’re connected, respected, and trusted by the team on the floor. That happens best when you’re here, shoulder to shoulder with your team, the bulk of the time. Remote leadership doesn’t deliver the same magic for us. We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being part of a great team and wants to help shape our culture of quality in the every day.

Salary & Benefits:

  • Employee Medical, Dental, & Vision + Spouse and Dependent contributions
  • 401k Matching (4% Pre-Tax)
  • 4 Weeks of Accrued PTO
  • 1 Week of Paid Synchronized Organizational Rest at Year-End
  • 6 Additional Paid Holidays
  • 360 Leadership Assessment & Internal Leadership Coaching
