Opportunity Details

Overview of the Vacancy

Location, Sector, and Role Context

This Quality Engineer position sits in Operations, Logistics & Sourcing and strengthens the Teleste Networks quality organisation in Kaarina. Its purpose is to help ensure that quality and customer requirements are fulfilled while quality work remains connected to the practical flow from suppliers through production, projects and customers. Day-to-day scope includes addressing deviations, complaints and NCR cases, leading root-cause work, and organising corrective and preventive responses. The engineer also follows up on the effectiveness of those responses, so analysis is connected to subsequent action rather than treated as a separate exercise. The position therefore requires attention both to case management and to wider patterns found through quality work. It brings customer requirements into the same operational discussion as supplier activity, production progress and project delivery.

Alongside case handling, the role contributes to production and quality-system development, internal auditing, and the coordination of IQC and OQC activities. Quality indicators are examined to identify development priorities, while personnel receive support on quality-related practices. Close cooperation is expected with production, procurement, product development, project teams, international suppliers and customers. A background combining relevant technical education, quality or manufacturing exposure, data analysis and collaborative communication fits this work. The stated requirements also emphasise a solution-oriented, systematic approach and sustained interest in improving quality practices. The scope extends from coordinating specified controls to turning measured information into improvement priorities. These activities place data-based judgement alongside the communication needed to give personnel useful quality support in their own work.

About the Employer: Teleste (Teleste Corporation, Teleste Networks)

Organization and Relevant Services

Verified Employer Overview

Teleste was established in 1954 and is listed on Nasdaq Helsinki. The company describes itself as a leading international provider of broadband, security and information technologies together with related services. It states that its integrated product and service portfolio is intended to support the building and running of a better-networked society. For this vacancy, that technology context frames a quality role connected to the Teleste Networks organisation, where work spans supplier, production, project and customer interfaces rather than being limited to one production-stage activity. Teleste's description places its offering in broadband, security and information technologies, while this quality assignment concerns the operational interfaces named in the vacancy. The position belongs to the Teleste Networks quality organisation and is concerned with work across that value chain.

The employer's stated solution areas include broadband-network and video-headend technologies for operators. Its broadband portfolio includes distributed access, RF amplifiers, optical nodes, RF passives, FTTX passives, headend optics, video headend, and network-management tools. Teleste also says that its broadband products, software and services support combined fibre-optic and coaxial-cable networks. This product and service context is relevant to a Quality Engineer who will develop production and quality systems, coordinate incoming and outgoing quality-control activities, and use quality metrics to identify areas for development. Rather than being described as a narrow inspection assignment, the vacancy combines these operational settings with investigation of cases, follow-up of actions and development of systems. The stated work reaches suppliers, production, projects and customers, giving quality activity a broad operational connection.

Professional Setting and Role Context

Work Environment, Operations, and Facilities

Beyond broadband technology, Teleste provides video-surveillance and situational-awareness solutions for public safety, as well as passenger-information and on-board solutions for public transport. The company reports offices in 12 countries and approximately 630 personnel. Its Finnish headquarters location is identified on the careers site as Teleste Group Headquarters, Finland, Turku. The Quality Engineer vacancy itself is located in Littoinen, Kaarina, placing the role in Southwest Finland while its responsibilities include cooperation with international suppliers and customers as well as local production, procurement, product-development and project colleagues. The employer facts therefore place a Kaarina-based vacancy within a presence that includes both the stated Finnish headquarters location and offices in other countries. The named international supplier and customer cooperation is part of the role's specified working relationships.

At Teleste, quality is presented as a competitive factor in an international technology company. The advertised position is described as a responsible role with opportunity to influence and develop operating methods, supported by a skilled and cooperative workplace community. Its stakeholder reach extends from suppliers to customers, which allows the employee to see the practical effect of quality work across the value chain. Within that environment, the Quality Engineer is expected to support personnel in quality practices, strengthen continuous improvement and operational excellence, and connect technical analysis with coordinated improvement activity. The vacancy links this perspective to influence over operating methods and identifies the supportive workplace community as part of the opportunity.

Application Guidance

Prepare a Focused Application

CV, Evidence, Documents, and Interview Preparation

General guidance for a Quality Engineer application is to prepare concise examples that show how a quality issue was investigated, how evidence informed the conclusion, and how follow-up was organised. Applicants can select examples from manufacturing, production, supplier or quality environments that demonstrate systematic work and collaboration. It may also be useful to explain familiarity with internal audits, incoming or outgoing quality-control activity, production or quality-system development, and the use of quality indicators. These are general preparation suggestions, not additional employer requirements. An applicant may explain how recommendations were communicated to colleagues and how outcomes were checked afterwards. Evidence can be organised around the role’s stated need for solution-oriented work, data use, process understanding and cooperation.

Before an interview, candidates may wish to review the technical education, relevant work experience and quality methods presented in their own background so that each point can be discussed clearly in English. General preparation can also include describing a situation involving a deviation, complaint or NCR case, then outlining the root-cause process and the way corrective or preventive action was monitored. Examples of working with production, suppliers, procurement, product-development or project colleagues can help organise an account of stakeholder collaboration. These suggestions are general guidance rather than a prescribed selection process. Applicants may also prepare an account of how they supported colleagues in applying a quality-related practice. This is general advice for structuring professional examples.

• Prepare an English CV that identifies the relevant technical education in production, quality or mechanical engineering.
• Select a concise example of analysing data to support a quality-related decision.
• Outline a previous root-cause investigation involving a deviation, complaint or NCR case.
• Be ready to describe how corrective and preventive actions were coordinated and monitored.
• Organise examples of collaboration with production, suppliers, procurement, product development or project colleagues.
• Review any applicable experience with internal audits, quality metrics, IQC, OQC or quality-management methods.
