Location: Fully remote within the United States
Travel: Approximately 10–20% domestic and international travel

The opportunity
CMS is looking for a Quality & Reliability Engineer to own and continuously improve the field-to-factory quality feedback loop for custom commercial and industrial HVAC equipment. You will lead technical investigations, turn incomplete field information into clear problem statements, and keep root-cause and corrective-action work moving through verified closure.
This is a hands-on, highly collaborative role. You will work across field operations, project teams, customers, engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and factory quality leaders. Your work will help teams respond faster, create repeatable repairs, reduce recurrence, and apply lessons learned to future projects.
Work from where you are. This is a fully remote position that can be based anywhere within the United States. Approximately 10-20% domestic and international travel is expected, including travel to customer sites and manufacturing facilities in Mexico. Travel may be heavier initially while you build relationships with key stakeholders and learn the factory systems. Travel to Mexico is generally expected up to four times per year to support investigations, gather technical evidence, collaborate with factory teams, and validate corrective actions.
What you will own
Lead field-to-factory investigations. Coordinate quality issues from initial report through containment, root cause, corrective action, and verified closure.
Turn field intelligence into action. Gather the technical evidence needed for faster decisions and translate recurring trends into improvements in design, manufacturing, supplier controls, installation guidance, training, and documentation.
Create field-ready solutions. Develop clear, controlled Field Service Bulletins with approved repair steps, safety requirements, acceptance criteria, and closeout evidence.
Drive clarity and accountability. Keep owners, milestones, risks, decisions, and overdue actions visible. Remove blockers and escalate high-impact or aging issues when needed.
Use data to improve the program. Maintain quality dashboards and reports, identify systemic trends and emerging risks, and provide concise updates to leadership, project teams, customers, and factory partners.
Go where the evidence is. Travel to customer sites and manufacturing facilities in Mexico to inspect equipment, support troubleshooting, gather evidence,…
