Quality Assurance Manager

Tired of reactive firefighting? We are looking for a Quality Control Manager who wants to build sustainable systems on the manufacturing floor.

Job Description:

We are seeking a hands-on Quality Control Manager to lead our quality assurance initiatives and drive a culture of continuous improvement within our manufacturing operations. This is not a desk job. We need a visible, proactive leader who will take ownership of our quality management system, work directly with our engineering and production teams, and shift our plant from reactive problem-solving to preventive discipline.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where your work directly shapes product compliance and customer satisfaction, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and develop our Quality Control team to ensure all quality objectives are met throughout the entire production lifecycle.
• Establish, maintain, and continuously improve quality control processes that comply with ISO 9001:2015, UL, and NSF regulatory standards.
• Manage in-process inspections, incoming raw material checks, third-party supplied product evaluations, and final product audits.
• Investigate non-conformances using structured root-cause analysis tools like 8D, FMEA, and 5 Whys to drive sustainable corrective actions.
• Partner cross-functionally with engineering, production, and procurement to resolve issues and champion Lean, 5S, and Six Sigma initiatives.
• Oversee inspection protocols, equipment calibration, and document control within our ERP system.
• Host and coordinate customer audits, third-party inspections, and certification body assessments.
• Provide regular reporting to senior management on key quality performance metrics.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in a manufacturing quality control role.
• 3+ years of experience in a managerial or supervisory capacity leading a quality team.
• In-depth, hands-on knowledge of ISO 9001:2015 standards and compliance.
• Proven success utilizing problem-solving methodologies like 8D, Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, and 5S.
• The ability to confidently read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and engineering schematics.
• Strong analytical skills with a demonstrated ability to influence and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
• Experience utilizing quality management systems and ERP platforms to track and resolve issues.
• A background in the manufacturing of injection molded and sheet metal fabrication components is highly preferred.

Join a team that values integrity, innovation, and doing things the right way. We offer a collaborative environment where your expertise will be recognized and rewarded. If you are ready to take ownership of quality and drive real change.
