The Maritime Division operates across multiple sites and business lines, producing advanced undersea systems for national defense. As the division scales from a single-product facility to a multi-site, multi-business-line operation, maintaining a unified and audit-ready quality management system is critical. This role sits within the Corporate Quality organization but is fully dedicated to the Maritime Division, serving as the connective tissue that keeps quality systems aligned across every site, product line, and certification boundary.

We are looking for a Lead Quality Systems Engineer, Maritime to join our team and own the end-to-end AS9100 quality management system across the Maritime Division. In the near term, you will support ongoing AS9100 certification and surveillance activities. Looking ahead, your primary mission is solving a much harder problem: as new product lines and manufacturing sites come online, the AS9100 certification scope expands to cover multiple sites, multiple product lines, and multiple business lines operating under shared facilities.

You will be responsible for designing and maintaining a QMS architecture that keeps all of these threads audit-ready, ensuring that growth in one area does not create certification risk in another.

• Audit Preparation and Liaison: Serve as the primary point of contact for third‑party certification body audits, customer audits, and regulatory reviews. Manage audit schedules, coordinate site readiness, and ensure findings are closed on time. Guide the organization through the evolution from a single-site audit scope to a multi‑site, multi‑product scope.
• Cross‑Site Process Harmonization: Establish standardized quality processes, procedures, and documentation practices that work across all division manufacturing sites.
