** Role Overview
** Lyten is seeking a Senior Quality Manager to own and scale end‐to‐end quality across battery materials, 3D graphene, and related advanced carbon products (Sensors, Composites, Concrete, etc) . This role is accountable for building and operating a robust Quality Management System (QMS) that supports R&D-to-manufacturing transition, customer qualification, and volume production readiness.

The role partners deeply with R and D, Process Engineering, Manufacturing, Materials Science, and Supply Chain to ensure product integrity, compliance, and continuous improvement across all current and future products within Lyten’s portfolio.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a fast‐scaling, deep‐tech manufacturing environment.
** Key Responsibilities
**** Quality Strategy & System Ownership
*** Own and continuously improve the Quality Management System (QMS) across Baytech for all battery and graphene products.
* Define site‐level quality strategy aligned with Lyten’s scale‐up, customer qualification, and commercialization roadmap.
* Lead preparation for and execution of customer audits, internal audits, and external certifications as required.
** Product & Process Quality
*** Establish and maintain product specifications, control plans, acceptance criteria, and SPC for all products.
* Partner with Process and Materials Engineering to define critical‐to‐quality (CTQ) parameters and ensure robust process control.
* Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective/preventive actions (CAPA) for internal and customer‐reported issues.
** Manufacturing Scale‐Up & Readiness
*** Serve as the quality lead for NPI, scale‐up, and 24/7 manufacturing readiness.
* Ensure quality systems scale effectively from pilot to continuous operations.
* Define quality gating for process changes, materials changes, and equipment deployment.
** Customer & Supplier Quality
*** Act as the primary quality interface for customers, supporting qualification, issue resolution, and ongoing performance reviews.
* Build and manage supplier quality programs, including material qualification, audits, and performance tracking.
* Ensure traceability and documentation meet customer, regulatory, and internal requirements.
** Data, Metrics & Continuous Improvement
*** Define and own quality KPIs (yield, scrap, Cp/Cpk, complaint rate, cost of quality).
* Implement data‐driven quality tools and dashboards to support real‐time decision making.
* Drive Lean / Six Sigma initiatives and a culture of continuous improvement across the site.
** Team Leadership & Culture
*** Build, lead, and mentor the Baytech Quality team (engineers, technicians, inspectors as applicable).
* Establish clear roles, operating rhythms, and accountability.
* Champion a strong quality culture integrated with operations—not a gatekeeping function.
** Required Qualifications
*** BS or MS in Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or related field.
* 8–12+ years of progressive experience in Quality roles in advanced manufacturing, materials, battery, semiconductor, or chemicals.
