This position will establish the processes, procedures, documentation, inspection standards, and accountability necessary to create a consistent and effective quality system across the organization.\n\nThe position is responsible for developing and maintaining quality systems and processes that ensure incoming materials, fabricated parts, assembly operations, kitting processes, in-process manufacturing, and finished products meet company, customer, and applicable regulatory requirements.\n\nThe role oversees all quality control activities across manufacturing and shipping operations, including the development and implementation of QC processes for fabrication, assembly, kitting, and finished products. Responsibilities include documentation control, non-conformance management, root cause analysis, corrective and preventive action (CAPA), supplier quality, and continuous improvement.\n\nThe successful candidate must be capable of taking ownership of the quality function and building a structured QC system where one does not currently exist. This includes assessing current practices, identifying gaps and documentation requirements, creating procedures and standards, implementing systems, training personnel, and ensuring consistent execution across departments.\n\nThe quality system should go beyond simply meeting minimum regulatory, customer, and industry requirements. Ensuring error free shipments is the baseline: the objective is to establish processes and standards that consistently deliver high-quality, reliable products. This may include standards for workmanship, appearance, fit, finish, consistency, and other aspects of overall product quality where appropriate.\n\nThe position requires strong attention to detail, analytical ability, technical and mechanical aptitude, and the ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced, high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment.\n\nEssential Duties and Responsibilities\n\nBuild the company’s QC system from the ground up, including processes, procedures, requirements, documentation, records, and accountability.\nAssess current manufacturing quality practices, identify gaps, and establish standardized quality processes.\nDocument current manufacturing processes, workflows, and procedures.\nDevelop, implement, and maintain QC processes for fabrication, assembly, kitting, in-process manufacturing, and finished products.\nWork with Manufacturing Engineering to help improve incoming inspection requirements, develop inspection standards, inspection points, acceptance criteria, and documentation requirements.\nEstablish and maintain the in-process, and final inspection processes.\nCreate and maintain quality control documentation, reports, procedures, work instructions, and standards across departments.\nDevelop and maintain document control processes to ensure quality documentation is accurate, current, accessible, and properly controlled.\nEnsure compliance with internal quality standards, customer specifications, engineering requirements, and applicable regulatory requirements.\nEstablish quality standards and processes that go beyond minimum regulatory and customer requirements, with a focus on efficiency, and overall product quality, consistency, and reliability.\nEstablish appropriate standards for workmanship, appearance, fit, finish, and other quality characteristics not fully defined by drawings or specifications.\nManage and maintain the company Quality Management System (QMS).\nEstablish and maintain systems for tracking and analyzing quality performance and trends.\nManage and maintain Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and related documentation.\nIdentify non-conformities, lead root cause analysis, and develop and implement corrective and preventive action (CAPA) plans.\nVerify the effectiveness of corrective actions and ensure issues are properly closed.\nCollaborate with Manufacturing, Engineering, Procurement, and other departments to identify and resolve quality issues.\nDevelop processes for supplier quality, including vendor quality records, supplier performance monitoring, and supplier risk assessments.\nDrive continuous improvement initiatives to improve efficiency, consistency, reliability, and product quality.\nEstablish quality training requirements and train employees on applicable quality procedures and standards.\nMonitor adherence to established quality processes and address failures to follow required procedures.\nDevelop quality metrics and reporting for management review.\nSupport customer quality requirements, audits, investigations, and corrective actions as required.\nContinuously evaluate the effectiveness of the quality system and identify opportunities for improvement.\n\nSupervision Responsibilities\n\nSupervise Quality Control Technician(s).\nTrain, develop, and provide direction to quality personnel.\nEstablish clear expectations and accountability for quality documentation activities.\n\nOrganizational Responsibilities\n\nEstablish quality standards and processes that are consistently applied across all

issues, corrective actions, and quality performance.\nEnsure proper execution and maintenance of non-conformance and corrective action processes.\nWork directly with management and department leaders to identify systemic quality issues and implement sustainable solutions.\nServe as the primary owner of the company’s quality control processes and QMS.\n\nMinimum Qualifications\n\n5+ years of progressive experience in quality control, quality assurance, and/or manufacturing quality, in a manufacturing or assembly environment.\nAt least 2 years of experience in a quality management capacity.\nDemonstrated experience building, implementing, maintaining, or significantly improving a Quality Management System (QMS).\nDemonstrated experience developing quality control systems, processes, inspection procedures, and documentation from the ground up or within an environment requiring significant system development.\nDemonstrated experience developing or managing system to handle non-conformances, conducting root cause analysis, and implementing corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).\nStrong understanding of manufacturing processes, inspection methods, and quality control principles.\nAbility to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, tolerances, and other technical documentation.\nDemonstrated ability to develop, implement, and enforce quality processes and standards.\nStrong technical and mechanical aptitude with an understanding of manufacturing processes.\nExcellent organizational and documentation skills, including experience with controlled documents, procedures, work instructions, and quality records.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across manufacturing, engineering, procurement, and management.\nDemonstrated ability to lead, train, and hold quality personnel accountable for inspection and quality requirements.\nExperience working in a fast-paced, high-mix,
