About the company
Hardford is an international operation in Linköping that develops and manufactures products with high quality requirements and secure processes. Here there is extensive collective knowledge in production, quality, laboratory operations, and projects.
The company is in a development phase where an important part is to continue developing structures, work methods, and digital solutions that support operations.
Your responsibilities
As a quality engineer, you will have a central role in Hardford's continued quality work. Your primary focus is to prevent quality deficiencies by developing robust processes, methods, and work practices. You work proactively to identify quality risks, analyze processes, and implement improvements that contribute to stable and quality-assured operations.
You actively participate in deviation management and root cause analyses from identified problem to implemented action and followed-up results. This means you participate in cause investigation, corrective and preventive actions, and ensure that the actions have the intended effect. The goal is to create sustainable solutions and reduce the risk of recurring deviations.
In this role you will, among other things:
• Contribute to developing processes, methods, and work practices to prevent quality deficiencies
• Conduct risk analyses and identify improvement opportunities in the company's processes
• Participate in deviation management and root cause analyses
• Assist in developing, implementing, and following up corrective and preventive actions
• Create, update, and monitor control plans, procedures, and quality requirements
• Conduct quality rounds and ensure that decided work methods are followed
• Perform internal audits and participate in external audits
• Train and support colleagues in procedures, GMP, and quality matters
• Contribute to continued digitalization and development of the company's quality work
You will be part of a quality team and work closely with production, QC laboratory, R&D laboratory, project department, procurement, and marketing. The role involves many contact points and close collaboration with colleagues who have broad expertise in their respective areas.
This is a role for you who wants to combine analysis and process development with operations-focused quality work. You get the opportunity to influence how Hardford works with quality and contribute to clearer structures, better follow-up, and long-term improvements.

It is meritorious if you have worked in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, or similar regulated operations. Knowledge of, for example, GMP, 8D, FMEA, HACCP, RCA, or AQL is also meritorious.
As a person you are structured, analytical, and goal-oriented. You can see both the whole picture and the parts that need to be developed to achieve the desired result. You drive issues forward, follow up on decided actions, and ensure that improvement work leads to real change.
