Step into a day where quality leads the mission

At Steel Tool & Engineering, precision machining and fabrication for the aerospace sector is our craft—and top-tier quality is our promise. As an AS9100-certified and NADCAP-accredited manufacturer, we're looking for a Quality Systems Manager to guide our quality assurance team and keep our operations audit-ready, compliant, and continuously improving.

What your day might look like

  • Walk the shop floor to verify controls and gauge calibration, then huddle with engineering and production to align on priority builds.
  • Review customer scorecards, set improvement targets, and track progress against KPIs.
  • Lead an 8D on a tricky nonconformance, digging deep with 5-Why to lock in robust corrective and preventive actions.
  • Prepare for a NADCAP special process audit—confirm documentation, validate process controls, and brief the team.
  • Mentor quality engineers, inspectors, and technicians—coaching on APQP, MSA, and SPC best practices.

Your impact

  • Own and continuously improve the Quality Management System to AS9100 and NADCAP requirements.
  • Plan, conduct, and host internal and external audits, including NADCAP special process audits.
  • Author and maintain quality procedures, work instructions, and control plans that drive repeatable outcomes.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to resolve issues quickly and prevent recurrence.
  • Support launches and process validations for new products, ensuring compliance from first article through production.
  • Elevate customer satisfaction by improving scorecard performance and responsiveness.

    • What you bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Quality, or a related field—or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years in aerospace manufacturing quality management.
  • Deep knowledge of AS9100, NADCAP, and ISO standards.
  • Hands-on experience with special processes (such as heat treat, NDT, chemical processing).
  • Fluency with quality tools : FMEA, Control Plans, Gage R&R, and SPC.
  • Strong leadership presence, clear communication, and expert problem-solving skills.
  • Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement methodologies.

    • Why Steel Tool & Engineering

    We operate where craftsmanship meets compliance. You'll lead meaningful improvements that keep aircraft safe and customers confident—while growing a team that takes pride in getting it right the first time.
