About The Position

This opportunity resides with Global Security (GS). Mission Technologies’ Global Security (GS) group comprises live, virtual, constructive (LVC) solutions; fleet sustainment; nuclear and environmental; and Australia business. As a trusted partner to our military customers, HII designs, develops and operates the largest LVC enterprise that prepares warfighters for cross-domain battle.

With a holistic approach to life-cycle maritime defense systems—from small watercraft to submarines, surface combatants and aircraft carriers—HII ensures a high state of readiness. HII supports the Department of Energy’s national security mission through the management and operation of its sites, as well as the safe cleanup of legacy waste across the country. HII meets clients’ toughest nuclear and environmental challenges. HII Mission Technologies’ New Nuclear Division is seeking a highly skilled and forward‑thinking Manager, Quality 2 to lead quality assurance activities supporting advanced nuclear programs. This role will oversee quality engineering, compliance, and inspection functions to ensure our nuclear programs meet stringent regulatory, customer, and internal quality requirements. The Manager, Quality 2 will drive continuous improvement, oversee program-level quality strategy, and ensure that deliverables align with nuclear industry standards and HII’s commitment to operational excellence. This position requires strong leadership, technical expertise in nuclear‑grade quality programs, and the ability to collaborate across engineering, project management, supply chain, and customer stakeholders.
