Acting as the bridge between management and the shop floor, you will ensure all products align with the Quality Manual, customer contracts, and ISO 9001:2015 / AS9100D standards. You are a proactive "Quality Promoter" who identifies daily priorities, allocates tasks to the QC team, and coaches inspectors to achieve "right-first-time" results. Your goal is to move the department toward a proactive, Industry 4.0-ready environment by ensuring on-time execution and peak team performance.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Engineering degree and/or 5+ years of manufacturing experience, with at least 2 years in a Senior QC or Lead role.
  • Master proficiency in reading blueprints, GD&T (Imperial/Metric), and using precision instruments (micrometers, bore/snap/thread gauges, etc.).
  • Experience in CMM operation is required.
  • Deep understanding of material characteristics, material certifications (MTRs), and outside service evaluation (paint, coating, heat-treat).
  • Strong proficiency in AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015.
  • Proficient in the MS Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook).

Nice To Haves

  • CMM programming experience (Calypso, Mcosmos, or PC-DMIS) is a significant asset.
  • Knowledge of ISO 45001 and 14001 is a plus.
  • Advanced knowledge of SharePoint for document control and Power BI for monitoring departmental KPIs and performance trends is a significant asset.

Responsibilities

  • Identify daily priorities based on the production schedule and allocate tasks to the QC team to ensure seamless workflow.
  • Monitor the progress of all pending inspections (Receiving, In-Process, Final) to ensure customer delivery dates are met.
  • Act as a technical mentor; update your own product knowledge based on evolving customer requirements and coach the team to perform effective, accurate inspections.
  • Observe individual team member performance and propose actionable solutions to the Quality Manager to improve overall departmental efficiency.
  • Work closely with the Quality Manager to develop team schedules that maximize coverage while minimizing the risk of late deliveries.
  • Serve as the technical lead and provide guidance and final verification for the designated Receiving Inspector. This includes verification of raw materials and components against PO requirements, Mill Test Reports (MTRs), industry standards and customer specifications before they are released to production.
  • Perform high-level verification of product conformance (First-Offs, In-Process, and Final inspection) alongside the team.
  • Inspect and validate parts returning from external processes (heat treat, plating, coating, etc.) to ensure all certifications and physical attributes meet the required standards.
  • Conduct systematic audits to ensure documentation is current, tools are calibrated, and operators are following stated procedures.
  • Lead the identification and recording of non-conformances. Oversee the processing of non-conforming items and verify that corrections are resolved.
  • Observe process capability (PpK & Cpk) and suggest improvements to the inspection platform to increase efficiency and reduce redundant activities.
