Quality Inspector

Hi there, we’re Article. We’re a North American-based furniture company creating remarkably better furniture experiences one sofa at a time. And as the Quality Inspector, you will play a vital role in ensuring that all products meet the company's standards for durability, appearance, functionality, and safety before they reach our customers.

Why We Need You:

In our Sourcing/Quality department,  the Quality Inspector will conduct quality inspections and testing at the supplier’s manufacturing facility, verify the implementation of corrective actions, provide training to suppliers on quality requirements as needed, and provide support for escalated issues within a specific product category (case goods, décor, outdoor, upholstery)

Why Article?

While, we sell to the North American market, we work closely with a number of our manufacturing partners throughout Asia. As a result we have an office in Thao Dien, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam where we currently have around 50 Particles (people of Article) working. 

As a Particle (people of Article), you will have a high level of autonomy to solve challenging, meaningful problems the best way you can. That means you’re trusted to explore solutions you believe will work best (you’re the expert, after all). You’ll do all this while growing your skills within a company that is redefining the furniture industry.
