Director of Quality

Overview

We are seeking an accomplished Director of Quality with deep, hands-on expertise in CNC machining environments and a proven record of leadership within high-precision manufacturing organizations.

The ideal candidate will possess a mastery of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), with the ability to accurately interpret, apply, and communicate GD&T requirements across engineering, manufacturing, and inspection functions. A strong foundation in metrology is essential, including practical knowledge of measurement systems, inspection methodologies, and statistical analysis.

This role requires a leader who is shop-floor engaged and process-oriented—someone who is not only comfortable, but eager, to immerse themselves in manufacturing processes and products to fully understand them end to end. The successful candidate will be an approachable, engaging expert who can translate quality requirements into actionable guidance and drive continuous improvement at all levels of the organization.

From a compliance standpoint, the Director of Quality must demonstrate extensive experience with IATF 16949 and Ford Motor Company Q1 requirements, including audit readiness, corrective action systems, and customer-facing quality performance.

Beyond technical excellence, we are looking for a strong, visible leader with the presence to influence cross-functional teams and the commitment to mentor and develop a high-performing quality organization. This individual will set the tone for quality culture, accountability, and operational excellence throughout the enterprise.
