Sealing Technologies, a Parsons Corporation company, is a trusted partner in providing powerful edge computing hardware and defensive cybersecurity solutions to protect the Federal Government and private enterprises. Our goal is to support the federal government, our allies, mission partners, and private industries in accomplishing their cybersecurity and defense objectives efficiently and securely through cutting‑edge hardware, engineering, and integration services.

Sealing Technologies, a Parsons Company, is looking for an experienced Quality Control Manager to join the Product Operations team. As the Quality Control Manager, you play a crucial role in overseeing and managing the entire end‑to‑end quality control process for technology testing and kitting operations within Sealing Tech’s Enterprise Modernization Center. The Quality Control Manager owns the execution of product conformance, ensuring that all products and kits meet required quality standards before leaving the facility.

This role is distinct from Quality Assurance (QA). While QA is responsible for the Quality Management System (QMS), internal audits, and ISO certification governance, the Quality Control Manager is responsible for the operational execution of testing, inspection, and product release. You will lead a Quality Control (QC) team of engineers and manage the materials/tools required for testing and inspection.

• Manage the end‑to‑end execution of testing, kitting verification, visual inspections, and packing. Ensure rigorous checks against the Bill of Materials (BOM) for every product/order, verifying part numbers, quantities, and revisions.
• Enforce cosmetic standards for hardware (ensuring devices are scratch/dent‑free) and oversee data integrity for serial number capturing, ensuring physical asset tags match digital inventory records.
• Oversee the custom hardware testing environment, including burn‑in and automated testing for produced and procured equipment.
• Verify that dunnage is applied correctly to prevent transit damage and that presentation meets guidelines.
• Identify recurring quality risks and inefficiencies within testing, kitting, and inspection processes. Recommend and implement improvements to reduce defects, rework, and delivery risk.
• Partner with QA to identify trends, systemic quality issues, and opportunities for standardization beyond individual lot‑level issues. Escalate recurring or systemic nonconformances to QA for QMS review.
• Create, maintain, and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for testing and inspection activities.
• Support the design‑to‑production transition by reviewing new or revised products for testability, inspection readiness, and BOM clarity before they hit production.
• Serve as the primary subject matter expert during customer, program, or partner testing requests and audits. Own the external‑facing process walkthroughs, providing demonstrations, records, and explanations regarding how testing and product release activities are performed.
• Support incoming inspection criteria, provide defect data to Logistics/Purchasing/QA for supplier performance monitoring, and assist with containment actions when issues are identified.
• Collaborate with various departments, including product development, procurement, production, logistics and other program teams, to develop testing plans that align with company and customer standards.
• Allocate labor, equipment, and materials to optimize testing efficiency while controlling costs. Create testing schedules based on production forecasts.
• Manage internal NCM (Nonconforming Materials), lead investigations into errors, and implement operational Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
• Collect and analyze data to produce Quality Control reports (Testing Results, Certificates of Conformance, Packing Lists, etc.).

• A bachelor's degree or relevant experience.
• 7+ years of progressive Quality Control experience in a technology hardware, electronics, IT equipment, or manufacturing environment.
• Previous experience in a Quality Control in logistics,…
