Productized Engagements. Senior Judgment. Fixed Scope.

Most quality engineering consulting is open-ended: hourly billing, scope that drifts, six-figure engagements before the first useful deliverable. That's not how this practice runs.

Every service here is structured as a productized engagement with defined scope, defined deliverables, and a quote provided after a free scoping call. Senior cross-industry QA judgment is the asset; AI-accelerated research handles the data labor; the practitioner is on the byline.

The practice serves three audiences: small consumer-product brands launching new products, medical device firms responding to FDA enforcement actions or preparing for ISO certification, and litigation teams needing an experienced expert witness on quality-system, recall, and product-liability disputes.

What This Practice Is — And Isn't

Senior judgment, productized Fixed-scope, fixed-price (or quoted-after-scoping-call) engagements with written deliverables. No hourly drift.
Senior engineer on every engagement Mark personally owns every audit, every report, every deposition. No junior associates, no firm rotations, no offshore handoffs.
Not a consulting firm No staff of associates, no business-development team, no $30,000+ open-ended retainers. A senior practitioner.
Not a substitute for legal counsel Quality engineering judgment, not legal advice. Engagements work alongside qualified counsel where regulatory exposure or litigation is involved.

The Engineer Behind QESaaS

One person, on the byline. No fictional staff, no rotating contractors — a senior quality engineer with two decades across regulated industries.

👤
Mark Mayeux
Founder & Quality Engineer · QESaaS

Twenty-plus years in product quality engineering across three categories where the cost of getting it wrong varies from ruined-your-Tuesday to ruined-your-life: medical devices, aerospace, and consumer goods. Same instinct, different stakes.

Director of Quality at Anatomy Supply Partners (2012–2015) — US/China medical device sourcing and supply company. Built the in-house Device Specification / FDA Regulatory team from scratch and ran 21 CFR Part 820 design control across US engineering and China manufacturing. Director of Quality at Scotsman Ice Systems (Ali Group subsidiary, 2016–2017) — passed major ISO 9001:2015 certification audits, multiple UL and FDA audits, plus customer-led supplier audits from McDonald's, GE, and Viking.

Earlier roles include performing supplier quality audits across medical consumables, medical devices, and consumer goods — and leading teams through years of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 certification audits, authoring company process documents and work instructions across every department. Mark also built the entire quality department at a medical equipment startup from scratch — hiring, agency documentation, supplier quality requirements, and supplier scoreboards — which was later acquired by a larger company.

Also operates federal recall data pipelines across CPSC, FDA, USDA, and NHTSA — built using AI as the labor layer. The same daily-running data feeds the QA Audit methodology, the Pre-Launch Audit service, and the manufacturer-reliability discovery work for expert-witness retainers.
