I enjoy being part of a team where quality is everyone’s responsibility and every person has an impact
Emad Keyvani, Senior Quality Engineer
What’s your journey at Candela been like?
I joined Candela in September 2025 as a Senior Quality Engineer, bringing a quality background from the automotive industry. My role centres on ensuring the quality and reliability of our production processes and meeting customers' requirements, working closely with production, R&D, and manufacturing engineering teams. Since day one, my focus has been on bridging these disciplines - translating quality requirements into practical, workable processes on the shop floor and making sure the standards we set are understood and owned by the people building the boats.
What do you enjoy about working with Candela?
I enjoy most the collaboration across divisions - quality doesn't live in a silo here, and I get to work closely with people from production, engineering, and R&D every day. I also really value conducting training sessions on quality principles for both operators and engineers. Seeing someone go from "why does this matter" to genuinely understanding and applying a quality concept is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
How does your role impact Candela's mission?
Candela's mission is to deliver a high-tech, green, and reliable product and that reliability is where I focus most of my energy. Every process improvement, training session, or audit preparation I work on is ultimately about making sure what we build matches that promise: a boat that performs, holds up, and reflects the ambition of the technology inside it.
What would you tell someone thinking about joining the team?
Be prepared to learn continuously and take on new challenges. Candela's product is unlike anything else being developed today, which makes the work both demanding and highly rewarding. At Candela, individual expertise and hands-on experience are just as valuable as documented procedures. If you enjoy tackling new challenges, collaborating across disciplines, and contributing your knowledge to a growing organization, you will find this an excellent place to develop your career.
