This is your chance to shape the future of automotive manufacturing, working in a high-tech environment where your expertise will directly influence success.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Lead and inspire a skilled team of engineers, technicians, and inspectors.

    • Implement and maintain a world-class Quality Management System (QMS) aligned with IATF 16949.

    • Drive APQP, PPAP, and PPMP processes to ensure flawless product launches.

    • Champion continuous improvement using lean principles and advanced quality tools.

    • Partner with suppliers and cross-functional teams to strengthen quality across the supply chain.

    • Lead internal and external audits, proactively manage customer concerns, and uphold compliance.

    What We’re Looking For:

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

    • 5+ years in Tier-1 automotive quality leadership, ideally with metal stamping/welding.

    • Strong knowledge of IATF 16949, APQP, PPAP, FMEA, and lean methods.

    • Proven success leading audits, problem-solving, and driving continuous improvement.

    • Natural leader who inspires teams and builds strong customer relationships.

    • CQE or CQM certification is a plus.

    What You’ll Get:

    • Competitive base salary + performance bonus.

    • Company vehicle.

    • Full benefits package including 401(k).

    • A seat at the table where your decisions matter.
