Partner with Supply Chain on supplier quality including 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 metrology systems. Lead MRB, NCR/CAPA/RCA workflows to closure. Partner with Engineering on design reviews, manufacturability, and quality plans to prevent escapes and improve yield.
Required qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related field; 5+ years in Manufacturing Quality or related hardware production roles; 3+ years leading teams or owning major cross-functional quality initiatives; strong experience with inspection, NCR/MRB, CAPA, RCA workflows; ability to interpret technical drawings, GD&T, and CAD models; experience in high-complexity or high-reliability industries (aerospace, defense, electronics/PCBA).
Desired qualifications include AS9100/ISO 9001 experience, startup/high-growth quality system scaling, IPC standards familiarity, advanced quality methods (SPC, DOE, PFMEA, APQP), supplier quality experience (SCARs, FAI/PPAP, vendor audits), and regulated/mission-critical program support.
