Director of Manufacturing About Atomic Industries
Atomic Industries is reinventing how the world makes things. From cars and aerospace systems to medical devices and packaging, most physical goods begin life in a mold or are shaped by a manufacturing tool. Producing these tools has always been slow, manual, and dependent on scarce expertise, taking weeks or months. We’re changing that. At our Detroit headquarters, we combine the industrial DNA of America’s manufacturing heartland with the speed, intelligence, and precision of Silicon Valley. Our AI-driven platform tackles the hardest problems in geometry, process planning, and fabrication, collapsing production timelines from months to days and soon, minutes. We don’t just build software; we run a fully operational factory where our technology produces production-grade tooling every week, enabling tight feedback loops and rapid iteration. Backed by top-tier investors, we’re restoring speed, flexibility, and capability to the American industrial base. Our mission is to make manufacturing as agile and scalable as the digital world, and in doing so, rebuild the infrastructure of the physical economy. Position Overview
We’re looking for a hands‑on, detail‑obsessed
Quality Manager
to lead all aspects of product and process quality across our injection molding operations. This role is critical in ensuring we meet or exceed customer expectations in precision, consistency, and compliance—especially as we scale to ISO 9001 and eventually IATF 16949 certification. Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Strategy Lead the Quality Department for all molding operations (startup and scale‑up phases)
Define and implement Atomic’s Quality Management System (QMS)
Develop and execute quality plans aligned with ISO and IATF requirements
Production Support Own part qualification process: PPAP, capability studies, control plans, first article inspections
Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions (8D, 5 Whys, Fishbone)
Monitor and report KPIs (scrap, customer complaints, audit scores, etc.)
Systems & Compliance Manage document control, audits, calibration, and traceability systems
Drive internal audits and prepare for external certifications and customer audits
Oversee inspection activities (incoming, in‑process, final)
Collaboration & Tech Enablement Work with design, tooling, process engineering, and software teams to build closed‑loop quality feedback
Help digitize and integrate quality workflows into Atomic’s proprietary software stack
Team Development Hire and train inspectors and quality technicians
Build a culture of quality ownership across departments
Qualifications
10+ years in quality roles in injection molding (automotive or medical preferred)
Strong knowledge of ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 standards and PPAP/APQP requirements
Proficient with inspection equipment (CMM, vision systems, gauges)
Familiar with statistical tools (SPC, MSA, GR&R)
Able to lead and thrive in a fast‑paced startup environment
Bonus: Experience with software‑driven quality systems or digital QMS platforms
What You Get
Opportunity to shape quality culture from the ground up in a next‑gen manufacturing company
Work with cutting‑edge automation, software, and materials
Competitive pay, benefits, and equity opportunity
