Senior Manager of Quality

A rapidly scaling space hardware company is looking for a hands-on Quality leader to own and grow their Quality and Mission Assurance function. This is not a maintenance role. It’s an opportunity to build a high-reliability quality system from the ground up, working closely with engineering and leadership to help bring structure to a fast-moving team that’s been focused on innovation over documentation. You’d be the first dedicated senior hire in quality, stepping into a player-coach position with broad authority to define and deploy their QMS, stand up supplier and production quality processes, and eventually grow a team. The company is moving from one-off hardware toward repeatable production and needs someone who understands how to set that foundation without slowing momentum. You’ll be the person other teams trust to make sure quality isn’t an afterthought. This means being just as comfortable leading a Failure Review Board as you are mentoring a design engineer or mapping out an AS9100-compliant process. You’ll be engaging across hardware programs, with input into both strategic planning and daily operations.
