• Lead all incoming material inspection and supplier acceptance activities.
• Supervise, train, develop, and evaluate inspectors and quality technicians.
• Establish inspection priorities based on production schedules, material requirements, and supplier risk.
• Confirm that purchased products comply with drawings, GD&T, specifications, purchase orders, and contractual quality clauses.
• Develop and improve receiving inspection plans, procedures, work instructions, sampling requirements, and acceptance criteria.
• Provide technical guidance for dimensional inspection and advanced metrology activities.
• Lead containment and investigation of supplier-related nonconformances.
• Coordinate MRB activities and ensure proper control and disposition of rejected material.
• Issue supplier corrective-action requests and evaluate root-cause and corrective-action responses.
• Work with suppliers and internal departments to prevent recurring defects and production delays.
• Track supplier rejection rates, inspection cycle time, quality escapes, corrective actions, and cost-of-poor-quality metrics.
• Prepare the department for AS9100, customer, and regulatory audits.
• Implement improvements that increase inspection capacity and strengthen supplier performance.

Applicants must meet all the following requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, Industrial Technology, or a directly related technical field.
• At least seven years of progressive manufacturing-quality experience.
• At least three years of direct responsibility for managing inspectors, quality technicians, or supplier-quality personnel.

• Direct responsibility for incoming inspection, receiving inspection, or supplier acceptance.
• Strong working knowledge of AS9100.
• Advanced ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, specifications, and contractual quality requirements.
• Hands-on knowledge of dimensional inspection tools and precision measurement methods.
• Experience with nonconformance control, MRB, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and SCARs.
• Experience supporting AS9100, customer, or regulatory audits.
• Ability to report daily to the onsite facility near the Golden Triangle Regional Airport.

Candidates with experience limited to ISO documentation, administrative quality support, laboratory quality, software quality, or individual-contributor inspection will not be considered.

• CMM, laser tracker, portable measurement arm, or advanced metrology experience.
• Supplier auditing and supplier-development experience.
• Experience with complex aerospace components or assemblies.
• CQE, CQA, Six Sigma Green Belt, or Six Sigma Black Belt certification.
