This leader will oversee all Quality Engineering teams across Energetics and Electronics, with site-level responsibility for quality performance, quality systems, customer compliance, and team development within a complex aerospace and defense manufacturing environment.

We are looking for a hands-on quality leader who can connect site strategy with shop-floor execution, strengthen quality practices across diverse manufacturing processes, and develop teams with distinct technical expertise. This role requires strong knowledge of AS9100, customer requirements, manufacturing quality, and structured problem solving, along with the leadership discipline to build a stronger quality culture as the business scales.

Scope of Responsibility

The Quality Manager will provide unified leadership for the Energetics and Electronics Quality Engineering teams, with responsibility for manufacturing quality, customer quality, corrective action, compliance, and team development, along with oversight of the site quality management system.

This leader will establish shared priorities, performance measures, and accountability across both groups while ensuring that quality practices reflect their respective technical requirements and manufacturing risks. Working closely with Operations and cross-functional partners, the manager will embed quality into production readiness, daily execution, customer commitments, and long-term site planning.

  • Ensure disciplined adherence to internal procedures, regulatory requirements, and customer expectations
  • Lead audit readiness, support customer and external reviews, and ensure timely closure of findings
  • Identify systemic risks and drive improvements in process control, discipline, and predictability

People Leadership & Team Development

  • Build and sustain a high-performing team through effective hiring, development, performance management, and employee engagement.
  • Build a cohesive site quality organization while developing the specialized expertise needed within each group
  • Strengthen technical capability, succession depth, and employee engagement
  • Encourage collaboration, knowledge sharing, and consistent problem-solving practices across teams
  • Create a culture of ownership, urgency, transparency, and continuous learning
  • Develop quality leaders and individual contributors who can support increasing business complexity

Manufacturing Quality & Problem Solving

  • Lead containment, root cause analysis, corrective action, and prevention across Energetics and Electronics manufacturing
  • Ensure quality engineering support reflects each group’s product characteristics, process risks, and inspection and test requirements
  • Drive structured problem solving using data, facts, and cross-functional engagement
  • Partner with Production, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Program Management to resolve quality issues and verify the effectiveness of corrective actions
  • Improve first-pass yield, reduce defects and escapes, and strengthen production readiness
  • Apply lessons learned across product lines and teams to improve overall site performance

Customer Quality & Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Represent site quality with credibility to customers across Energetics and Electronics programs
  • Lead communication and resolution of customer concerns, nonconformances, corrective actions, and quality performance issues
  • Ensure customer quality requirements are understood and incorporated into planning and execution
  • Build strong partnerships across Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, Production, and Program Management
  • Drive shared ownership of quality across functions as production demand and program complexity grow
