About The Position

AnySignal is a startup whose mission is to usher in the next generation of RF products and services. For the most demanding space and defense missions, AnySignal provides a flexible platform with world-class performance that is easy to deploy, monitor, purchase, and upgrade. Our team has a diverse range of backgrounds that cover cloud computing to artificial intelligence, communications and sensing, embedded systems, and much more.
We’re looking for an experienced Quality Specialist to own day-to-day quality execution on the manufacturing floor and help mature our QMS into a scalable system. This is an inspection-forward role with broad responsibility: you’ll run in-process and final inspection, lead MRB/NCR/CAPA, drive root cause and corrective actions to closure, and partner closely with Manufacturing and Engineering to improve yield and prevent escapes.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in Quality / Manufacturing Quality / Supplier Quality (or similar) in a hardware production environment (electronics, RF, aerospace/defense, or complex electromechanical systems).
• Proven experience owning inspection + NCR/MRB + CAPA/RCA workflows and driving measurable improvements (yield, escapes, rework reduction).
• Strong ability to interpret mechanical/electrical drawings and use CAD models to support inspection and build conformance.
• Excellent written and verbal communication—able to document issues clearly and drive alignment across Engineering and Manufacturing.
• High attention to detail, strong judgment, and comfort operating in a dynamic startup environment.
• In order to comply with the space technology export rules of the U.S. Government, such as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), it is necessary to be a U.S. citizen, a lawful U.S. permanent resident, a protected individual as specified by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or possess eligibility to secure the necessary authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. For additional information on ITAR, please seek further details.

Nice To Haves

• Experience working within or supporting compliance to ISO 9001 / AS9100 quality systems.
• Familiarity with electronics quality standards (e.g., IPC) and/or GD&T and metrology tools.
• Supplier quality experience (incoming inspection, SCARs, supplier corrective actions, FAIs/PPAP-style documentation).
• Experience supporting regulated or high-reliability programs (space/defense or similar).

Responsibilities

• Inspection ownership: Conduct detailed incoming, in-process, and final inspections of parts and assemblies using drawings, CAD models, and documented processes to verify conformance to design requirements.
• Manufacturing documentation review (risk-based): Review and approve quality-critical specifications, manufacturing bills of materials (MBOM), work orders (WO), and build documentation for completeness, accuracy, and alignment with quality objectives.
• Nonconformance leadership: Manage non-conformances through the MRB process, including disposition coordination, containment, and documentation.
• Corrective & preventive action: Drive RCA and CAPA end-to-end using tools such as 5 Whys, 8D, fishbone diagrams, and others; verify effectiveness and prevent recurrence.
• Quality metrics & improvement: Track and improve key quality metrics including first pass yield, nonconformance trends, and quality escapes; lead continuous improvement initiatives with technicians, inspectors, manufacturing engineers, hardware engineers, and manufacturing management.
• Anomaly resolution: Identify, document, and help resolve production and test anomalies per established procedures; coordinate corrective actions as required.
• QMS improvement: Support the development, maintenance, and continual improvement of QMS policies and procedures, with an emphasis on practical, scalable processes that work in a fast-moving hardware environment.
• Audit support: Help plan and execute internal audits, supplier/vendor audits, and external audits to ensure ongoing compliance.
