  • Supplier Quality Management: Oversee the quality performance of suppliers, establishing quality standards for incoming materials and manage supplier audits.
  • MRB Management: Lead the Material Review Board processes to ensure non-conforming material is dispositioned and identify Scrap reduction initiatives.
  • Quality improvement management: Lead Continuous improvement projects using industry-specific methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma and other tools to eliminate process variations and defects.
  • KPI Reporting: Report the Quality performance metrics, communicating quality initiatives to stakeholders in the organization and identify areas for improvement.

YOU'LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, quality management, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in aerospace or complex manufacturing environments.
  • 3+ years of proven leadership experience within a global manufacturing or service environment.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We're on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth, but that's not an easy task. It takes hard work, determination, relentless innovation, teamwork, grit, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what others often deem impossible. Our people out-think, out-work and out-pace. We pride ourselves on having each other's backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small. We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and our focus is always on how we can deliver, rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.
