Quality Manager

Job DescriptionJob Description

Note : The ZipRecruiter Estimated pay range for this position is not accurate. Pay will be discussed during the interview process.

We are seeking a hands-on, proactive Quality Manager to oversee our quality assurance processes and ensure compliance with industry standards. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in quality management systems, particularly within the manufacturing sector. This role is crucial for maintaining high-quality standards, conducting quality audits, and ensuring adherence to FDA regulations and ISO standards. We're looking for someone who's as comfortable with calipers and run charts as they are with audits and strategy.

Note : This role is best suited for someone who thrives in a hands-on environment. We're looking for a leader who is actively engaged on the production floor—not someone seeking a primarily desk-based position.

Summary

This role requires a strong sense of ownership, a detail-oriented mindset, and the leadership skills to build a world-class quality program as we grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct hands-on product inspections using calipers, micrometers, and other tools to ensure conformance to specifications
• Audit and improve existing quality testing performed by operators; verify documentation accuracy and compliance
• Review and interpret SPC charts, identifying trends and supporting corrective actions
• Own and lead the response to customer complaints, root cause investigations, and internal corrective actions
• Authorize the release of finished goods based on inspection outcomes and documentation
• Establish and maintain calibration schedules for measurement equipment, coordinating with outside services as needed
• Serve as the go-to quality expert for operators and engineers, providing guidance and feedback on product acceptability
• Champion ISO standards; lead audit preparation and ensure ongoing compliance
• Design and build quality systems, SOPs, documentation workflows, and team structure as we scale
• Identify, train, and lead future quality technicians as the department grows
• Support continuous improvement efforts and collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing and engineering teams
• Perform all other duties as needed to build and maintain a high-performing quality function
