The Quality Manager is responsible for overseeing and managing all aspects of quality assurance and quality control within the organization.

The Quality Manager plays a key leadership role in setting quality objectives and targets, monitoring performance metrics, managing the quality team, and driving continuous improvement initiatives across the organization.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Quality System Management: Develop, implement, and maintain the IATF 16949 / ISO 9001 quality management system to ensure full compliance with industry standards and customer requirements. Serve as the primary Management Representative for all quality system matters.
    • Maintain and continuously improve quality documentation, including quality manuals, procedures, work instructions, and records.
    • Ensure customer-specific requirements (CSRs) are identified, communicated, and incorporated into the quality system.
  • Team Leadership & Development: Lead, mentor, and manage the Quality Assurance team, including Quality Engineers and Inspectors. Set clear performance expectations, conduct performance reviews, and develop team members\' skills and capabilities.
    • Foster a culture of accountability, quality ownership, and continuous improvement throughout the organization.
    • Develop and deliver quality training programs for all relevant personnel on quality standards, procedures, inspection methods, and IATF 16949 requirements.
  • Quality Planning & Control Plans: Develop and maintain control plans, process flow diagrams, and inspection criteria for all machined components and assemblies. Ensure robust first-article, in-process, and final inspection programs are in place.
    • Lead the development and review of Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) documents to proactively identify and mitigate risk in machining and related processes.
    • Oversee Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) activities to ensure new parts and processes are fully qualified before production release.
  • Measurement Systems & Gauging: Oversee the calibration and gage R&R programs. Ensure all measurement equipment - CMMs, micrometers, gauges, and inspection fixtures - is properly maintained, calibrated, and fit for purpose.
    • Ensure measurement system adequacy through regular MSA studies and corrective action where required.
  • Continuous Improvement: Spearhead continuous improvement initiatives using methodologies such as Six Sigma, Lean, and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to eliminate waste, reduce defects, and enhance process capability across machining operations.
    • Apply Statistical Process Control (SPC) and process capability analysis (Cpk / Ppk) to monitor and improve machining processes.
    • Utilize data-driven decision-making and structured problem-solving tools to drive measurable, sustainable quality improvements.
  • Root Cause Analysis & Corrective Actions: Lead and oversee internal and external corrective and preventive action (CAPA) processes. Ensure root cause investigations are thorough, timely, and result in lasting resolutions.
    • Maintain the corrective action log and drive closure on all open actions within established timelines.
    • Proactively address recurring quality issues to minimize batch failures, rework, and escapes.
  • KPI Monitoring & Reporting: Define, track, and report quality key performance indicators (KPIs) including scrap rate, rework rate, first-pass yield, PPM, OEE quality component, and cost of poor quality (COPQ).
    • Prepare and present quality performance findings and trends to senior management on a regular basis.
    • Support production teams through data analysis, KPI monitoring, and actionable reporting.
  • Auditing: Develop and execute the internal audit schedule. Lead customer and third-party audits, including IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 surveillance and recertification audits.
    • Prepare audit documentation, responses, and corrective action plans. Ensure all quality procedures are followed and the company remains fully compliant.
  • Customer Quality Management: Serve as the primary quality contact for customers. Manage customer complaints, warranty returns, and 8D / corrective action responses.

    • Liaise with external vendors, contractors, and suppliers to ensure products and services meet the organization\'s quality standards.
    • Drive supplier development initiatives to improve supply chain quality performance over time.
  • New Product Launch (PPAP / APQP): Partner with Engineering, Sales, and Operations to successfully launch new programs. Lead the PPAP process and manage APQP activities to identify and mitigate quality risks up front.
    • Ensure new parts are fully qualified and approved before production release.
  • Non-Conforming Material Control: Manage the non-conforming material review board (MRB) process. Ensure suspect and rejected material is properly identified, segregated, dispositioned, and documented.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Engineering, Operations, Scheduling, and Customer Service as an effective member of the functional management team to proactively address quality risks and support business objectives.
    • Collaborate with Engineering and Manufacturing teams to develop strategies that improve product and process quality, as well as new business opportunities.
