Manufacturing Quality Systems Manager

Lead Quality. Drive Improvement. Make an Impact.

Picture your morning: you scan overnight SPC alerts, meet with your quality engineers for a quick tier meeting, then head to the floor to support a launch APQP review. By lunch, you’ve closed the loop on a customer concern with data-driven 8D actions, and in the afternoon you’re mentoring a technician on MSA while preparing for an upcoming IATF 16949 audit. If that sounds like your kind of day, you’ll feel right at home here.

As our Manufacturing Quality Systems Manager, you will lead the site’s Quality Management System and set the standard for world‑class performance in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You’ll align people, processes, and data to meet customer and production needs, ensure compliance with automotive and industry standards, and build a high-performing quality team.
