• Lead and manage the quality inspection team, providing guidance, training, coaching, and performance feedback to ensure team effectiveness and growth.
• Establish and maintain quality assurance standards, inspection methods, and acceptance criteria in compliance with AS9100, ISO 9001, and customer requirements.
• Identify areas for process improvement and work with cross-functional teams to implement corrective actions, preventive actions, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Collaborate with suppliers to establish quality requirements, conduct supplier audits, address supplier quality issues, and ensure the quality of incoming materials.
• Maintain accurate quality records and documentation, including inspection reports, non-conformance reports, corrective action plans, audit records, calibration records, and customer-required documentation.
• Ensure all customer-required quality documentation is collected, reviewed, completed accurately, and submitted as required.
• Investigate and resolve quality issues by conducting root cause analysis and implementing effective corrective and preventive actions.
• Investigate, address, and respond to customer complaints related to product quality, documentation, or compliance.
• Develop and deliver quality-related training programs to improve employee understanding of quality standards, inspection requirements, documentation practices, and compliance expectations.
• Establish, monitor, and report key quality performance metrics to measure the effectiveness of quality control processes and identify trends.
• Ensure calibration requirements are maintained and that inspection tools, gauges, and equipment are current, accurate, controlled, and used properly.
• Participate as a key member of the Leadership Team, supporting quality compliance, company objectives, strategic goals, and organizational values.
• Serve as a practical, hands-on quality resource for production, inspection, engineering, purchasing, and leadership teams.

• Strong understanding of AS9100, ISO 9001, QMS requirements, non-conformance management, root cause analysis, corrective action, and routine audit preparation.
