About Us

A & A Plating Inc. is a specialized aerospace metal finishing company focused on high-reliability, hermetically sealed connectors and precision components. We are AS9100 certified and actively advancing toward NADCAP Chemical Processing accreditation (AC7108).

We are a stable, growing company built on long-term customer relationships, technical expertise, and a commitment to doing things right the first time.

The Opportunity (Long-Term Leadership Role)

We’re looking for a hands-on Quality Director to take full ownership of our Quality Management System and lead our next phase of growth.

This is a full-time, long-term leadership position — not a temporary or project-based role.

We are looking for someone who wants to grow with the company and build a long-term career here. If you’re looking for a place to make an impact and potentially finish your career with a strong, stable organization, we want to talk to you.

You will play a key role not only in achieving NADCAP accreditation, but in leading and sustaining our quality system well beyond it.

  • Drive root cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Lead Management Review and KPI reporting to leadership
  • Ensure process control and special process compliance
  • Develop and mentor the quality team
  • Build and reinforce a culture of quality, accountability, and consistency
What We’re Looking For
  • 8+ years in quality within aerospace or regulated manufacturing
  • 5+ years in a leadership role managing a QMS
  • Strong knowledge of AS9100 and audit processes
  • Experience with CAPA, root cause analysis, and risk-based thinking
  • Hands-on leadership style with strong decision-making ability
Bonus Experience (Not Required)
  • NADCAP (AC7108 Chemical Processing) experience
  • AS9100 Lead Auditor or Internal Auditor certification
  • CQE (ASQ) or Six Sigma background
Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary: $70,000 – $75,000 annually (based on experience)
  • Medical and Dental coverage
  • Stable, long-term position with growth potential
  • Direct involvement with company leadership and decision-making
  • Opportunity to lead a company through NADCAP accreditation and beyond
Work Environment
  • Office-based with active involvement on the shop floor
  • Collaborative environment working closely with operations and leadership
  • PPE required in production areas
Why Join A & A Plating
  • This is not a temporary role tied to NADCAP — we are investing in a long-term leader
  • Opportunity to build, lead, and shape the quality function
  • Be part of a company that values loyalty, stability, and long-term growth
  • Your impact will be seen, valued, and supported
