About the role
Quality Engineer
Company Overview
At PuroAir, our mission is to make clean, healthy indoor air accessible to everyone, everywhere. Since launching in 2021, our products are providing breathable air in over 300,000 homes, classrooms, and offices - and we’re just getting started. We’re one of the fastest growing brands in the country, and while we’re excited about how far we’ve come, we’re even more excited about where we’re headed.
Position Overview
PuroAir is seeking a hands-on Quality Engineer to support our growing manufacturing operations. This is a long-term contract opportunity ideal for someone who enjoys solving real product problems, working cross-functionally, and driving measurable improvements.
We are specifically looking for someone who is mechanically inclined, comfortable performing product teardowns, failure analysis, and project-based quality improvements — not someone focused only on inspections or people management.
This role will partner closely with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and customer support teams to reduce defects, improve reliability, and strengthen our quality systems.
Location: Denver Metro Area preferred or Remote (U.S.)
Schedule Requirement: Must be able to overlap with some morning hours in China
Employment Type: Long-Term Contract
