🚀 Build the Quality Engine for a High‑Precision Manufacturer (Aerospace + Medical)

A growing precision manufacturing company serving aerospace and medical customers is hiring a Quality Control Manager (CMM experience is a bonus) to lead a pivotal next chapter: owning the AS9100D certification journey while building a scalable, modern Quality Management System.

If you love being a hands‑on, high‑impact quality leader—equal parts systems builder, team developer, and shop‑floor problem solver—this is the role where your work will shape the company’s future.


🔧 What you’ll own

  • Lead the AS9100D certification effort from current state through successful registration (targeting 2026)
  • Develop, implement, and maintain a robust Quality Management System (QMS)
  • Create and manage procedures, work instructions, and inspection plans
  • Establish and run an internal audit program
  • Drive continuous improvement using data, root cause analysis, and CAPA
  • Oversee first article (AS9102), in‑process, and receiving inspection
  • Manage supplier quality and calibration programs
  • Lead customer audits, corrective actions, and 8D responses
  • Partner with leadership on quality metrics, dashboards, and KPIs


🧠 What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years of quality leadership experience in precision manufacturing
  • Direct experience leading AS9100 or ISO 9001 certification efforts (AS9100 strongly preferred)
  • Strong GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and blueprint interpretation skills
  • Hands‑on metrology expertise (mics, calipers, height gages, pin gages, etc.)
  • CMM programming and operation experience (CALYPSO / ZEISS)
  • Familiarity with AS9102 First Article processes
  • Deep experience with CAPA, RCCA, and audit management
  • Bonus points for ASQ certifications, FDA/ISO 13485 exposure, FAA PMA, Lean or Six Sigma


🌟 Why this role stands out

  • Direct access to ownership/leadership with real strategic influence
  • Full ownership of the AS9100D certification as a defining career achievement
  • Opportunity to build quality systems that scale with aggressive growth
  • Join a manufacturer modernizing into an AI‑forward, data‑driven organization
  • Autonomy to shape the quality team, training, and long‑term roadmap
