This is a highly cross-functional role partnering closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain to improve yield, prevent escapes, and enable mission success.

• Build and lead the quality team while defining the company's quality strategy across the full product lifecycle.

• Establish and rack key quality metrics (yield, escapes, nonconformances, reliability) and drive improvement through methodologies like Lean, SPC, and DOE.

Supplier & Cross-Functional Quality

• Own responsibility and interface with customers for logistics and documentation of RMA and CoC.

• Partner with Supply Chain on supplier quality — incoming inspection, corrective actions, and qualification.

• Establish strong cross-functional collaboration with Engineering and Manufacturing to drive continuous improvement.

Manufacturing & Product Quality

• Own inspection processes (incoming, in-process, final) and the metrology systems behind them, partnering with Manufacturing and Engineering to improve yield and reduce rework.

• Lead MRB, NCR/CAPA/RCA workflows to closure, and partner with Engineering on design reviews, manufacturability, and quality plans to prevent escapes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field

• 5+ years of experience in Manufacturing Quality, or related roles in a hardware production environment

• 3+ years of experience leading teams or owning major cross-functional quality initiatives

• Strong experience with inspection, NCR/MRB, CAPA, and RCA workflows

• Ability to interpret technical drawings, GD&T, and CAD models

• Experience working in high-complexity or high-reliability industries (e.g., aerospace, defense, electronics to PCBA level)

• Excellent communication skills and ability to solely interface with customers and drive alignment across teams

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with AS9100 and/or ISO 9001 quality systems

• Experience scaling or evolving a company’s quality systems in a startup or high-growth environment

• Familiarity with IPC standards, metrology tools, and advanced quality methods (SPC, DOE, PFMEA, APQP)

• Supplier quality experience including SCARs, FAI/PPAP, and vendor audits

• Experience supporting regulated or mission-critical programs (space, defense, medical, etc.)
