  • Scaling Quality Operations:
    • Create scalable quality systems and procedures to support increased production volumes as the business grows.
    • Implement statistical process control (SPC) techniques to monitor and control production quality at scale.
    • Develop quality documentation such as Control Plans, Process Flow Diagrams, and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to support scale-up efforts.
  • Supplier Quality Management:
    • Work with suppliers to establish and maintain incoming material quality standards, ensuring that raw materials meet required specifications.
    • Lead supplier audits and implement corrective actions when necessary to improve supplier performance.
  • Regulatory Compliance:

    • Prepare for and manage external audits, ensuring that all documentation and records meet regulatory and certification standards.
  • Data Collection & Reporting:
    • Collect, analyze, and report on quality data to identify trends and areas for improvement.
    • Prepare quality reports for leadership, highlighting key performance indicators (KPIs) such as First Pass Yield, defect rates, and customer complaints.
  • Training & Mentorship:
    • Train production staff on quality standards, inspection techniques, and the importance of quality control.

  • Experience with quality management software and tools for data collection and analysis.
  • Proficiency with quality inspection tools (CMM, calipers, micrometers) and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing).
  • Strong knowledge of process control methodologies, including SPC (Statistical Process Control) and FMEA.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including production, design, and supply chain.
  • Ability to work independently in a startup environment where flexibility and multitasking are critical.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to perform root cause analysis and implement corrective/preventive actions.
  • Ability to develop solutions that balance quality, production efficiency, and scalability.
