- Partner cross-functionally with Manufacturing and Engineering to resolve defects and improve processes
- Support internal audits, quality metrics/KPIs, and continuous improvement initiatives (Lean / Six Sigma)
What You'll Bring
- 5+ years of quality experience in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability manufacturing
- Prior supervisory or team lead experience within a Quality function
- Strong working knowledge of AS9100 and quality tools (SPC, FMEA, RCCA)
- Ability to read technical drawings and interpret GD&T
- Comfortable with inspection equipment (micrometers, calipers, gauges, CMM, optical comparators)
- U.S. Person status required (ITAR/EAR environment)
Why Apply
