In this dynamic role, you’ll represent Stratosphere Quality as a trusted quality expert and leader, helping our client maintain the highest standards of manufacturing excellence.

• Driving Compliance: Ensure development, implementation, and compliance with ISO 9001 standards.

• Solving Problems: Take the lead on root cause analysis, corrective actions, and preventative measures for all quality-related issues.

• Establishing Excellence: Set and enforce quality assurance procedures, documentation, and standards.

• Leveraging Technology: Work within our ERP system to monitor quality data and drive decisions.

• Owning PAPP: Manage the Production Part Approval Process from start to finish, including documentation and submission.

• Mentoring and Leading: Develop and grow the quality team—identify skill gaps, foster subject matter expertise, and lead by example.

We're looking for a driven, experienced quality professional with a passion for manufacturing excellence. Here's what you’ll need to succeed:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Quality Management, or a related field.

• Proven experience in a quality management role within manufacturing.

• Deep understanding of Quality Control, Assurance, ISO 9001, CMM, Control Plans, Flow Charts, PAPP documentation, and APQP.

• Exceptional knowledge of quality control methodologies and compliance requirements.

• Strong blueprint reading skills with hands-on experience in GD&T and measuring tools.

• Analytical mindset with top-tier problem-solving skills.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities—able to influence and inspire.

• High attention to detail and a results-driven, energetic approach.
