Lead internal, customer, third-party, and regulatory audit activity and maintain audit readiness
Ensure effective controls for documentation, traceability, inspection, testing, calibration, configuration control, and records retention
Lead receiving, in-process, and final inspection strategies to ensure product conformity and process discipline
Own nonconformance, containment, root cause, corrective action, and verification of effectiveness across internal and supplier issues

Experience supporting U.S. government contracts and operating in highly regulated production environments
Strong understanding of inspection systems, process validation, first article inspection, traceability, and risk-based quality management
Proven ability to lead root cause investigations, drive corrective action, and improve quality performance in complex technical operations
Strong leadership, judgment, and cross-functional influence, with the ability to lead through managers and supervisors and hold teams accountable across functions and locations
