• Own quality performance for assigned customer and program portfolios, serving as a primary quality interface with customers and aerospace/defense prime contractors.

• Review proposals, statements of work, customer requirements, and related program documentation to help ensure alignment with design intent, quality requirements, regulatory requirements, and contractual commitments.

• Partner closely with Program Management and cross-functional teams including Engineering, Operations, Procurement, Strategic Sourcing, and Supplier Quality to identify, assess, and resolve quality risks.

• Maintain end-to-end ownership of quality issues across customer, manufacturing, and supplier boundaries; coordinate the appropriate resources and drive issues through effective resolution.

• Support first article readiness and execution, including AS9102/FAI requirements, and help ensure supplier quality requirements and flow-downs are understood and properly implemented.

• Support manufacturing process validation, control plans, inspection instructions, quality records, and other quality-system documentation required to demonstrate process and product compliance.

• Analyze production and quality data to identify trends, systemic issues, and improvement opportunities, and use data to support sound technical and business decisions.

• Participate in customer and program reviews as the quality and compliance voice for assigned programs, communicating risks, status, corrective actions, and quality performance clearly and professionally.

• Exercise independent judgment and ownership in making quality decisions that may have significant customer, program, compliance, and financial impact; escalate appropriately when additional support or authority is required.

• Drive continuous improvement using Lean, Six Sigma, and other appropriate quality tools and methodologies.
