Quality and Inspection Leader
We are looking for a
proven Quality & Inspection leader
— someone who can step into our shop on Day One, assess the operation, and
immediately take control of Quality execution and Inspection discipline.
We need someone who has extensive experience on how to properly align, verify, and use a
FARO Arm .
ITAR / CUI Eligibility (Required)
This role requires access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Applicants must be a
U.S. Person
per ITAR (22 CFR §120.62).
The Role — What You Will Own You will
own Quality Assurance and Inspection , end-to-end.
This is a
lead-from-the-front role . You will set standards, enforce them, and ensure Quality operates at the speed of production — without sacrificing compliance or accuracy.
Quality Leadership (System + Execution)
Take full ownership of the Quality function —
no babysitting, no hand‑holding
Drive real QMS performance (AS9100‑aligned) — not paperwork for its own sake
Lead corrective action, root cause, containment, and prevention with urgency and effectiveness
Hold the team accountable to clear expectations and measurable results
Act as the senior Quality authority for customer issues, escapes, and audit responses
Communicate directly and confidently with leadership, production, and customers
Inspection Leadership (Hands‑On Authority Required)
Own receiving, in‑process, and final inspection performance
Set and enforce inspection standards — blueprint interpretation, GD&T application, documentation quality
Personally understand and validate inspection decisions when required
Ensure AS9102 FAIs are done
correctly, completely, and on time
Establish a culture where inspection supports flow — not bottlenecks or confusion
You
must
know how to properly align, verify, and use a FARO Arm
You must be capable of troubleshooting FARO results and validating inspection output
You are expected to standardize FARO usage, methods, and reporting
This role cannot depend on “one FARO guy” —
you are the authority
Who This Role Is For This role is for someone who:
Sees a weak Quality operation and
fixes it
Leads without waiting for permission
Is technically respected because they
know inspection and QA cold
Moves fast, sets expectations, and holds people accountable
Is comfortable stepping in when something is wrong — and stopping bad product
Minimum Requirements (Must Have)
10+ years
Quality experience in aerospace manufacturing (precision machining required)
Proven leadership experience (Manager / Supervisor / Lead)
Expert‑level blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation
Strong hands‑on inspection background (not just system oversight)
FARO Arm competency — alignment, probing strategy, validation, reporting
AS9100 experience with real‑world execution (not just audits)
Ability to work at production pace without sacrificing quality
Strongly Preferred
Direct ownership of AS9102 FAIs
CMM experience in addition to FARO
Demonstrated reduction of escapes, rework, and scrap
Experience fixing underperforming Quality departments
This Role Is NOT For
Passive inspectors
Resume QA managers with no hands‑on credibility
Followers who wait for direction
Anyone uncomfortable making decisions or holding the line
Why This Role Matters This position has
real authority and real impact .
If you are an expert who wants to run Quality the right way — decisively, technically, and with accountability —
we want to talk to you.
