Quality Control Manager, Calibration & Precision Measurement

Build a quality system that catches issues early and proves excellence

In this mission-driven role, you’ll lead the Quality Control organization spanning inspection and metrology—and act as the subject matter expert for inspection (non-NDT). Your mandate: engineer inspection processes that verify conformity early, deploy the right technologies, and ensure records and calibrations stand up to scrutiny.

Your impact

• Inspection processes are tuned to verify product conformity at the earliest practical step.
• People and equipment are allocated to deliver efficient, effective inspection operations.
• Nonconformances are recorded thoroughly and promptly, and affected product is contained.
• Modern inspection technologies are identified, available, and in use to streamline work.
• Calibration activities meet industry standards and are executed efficiently to support production and inspection.
• Final production documentation is complete, accurate, and ready for Quality Assurance processing.
• Regulatory audits receive timely, accurate support in accordance with applicable bodies and standards.
• Adherence to manufacturing and inspection processes is monitored continuously and corrected as needed.

What you will do

• Scrutinize inspection methods selected during planning to improve effectiveness and eliminate redundancy or non–value-added steps.
• Advise Quality Assurance on all things metrology.
• Set performance controls, KPIs, and goal-tracking mechanisms for the department and your direct reports.
• Contribute to departmental strategy and long-range vision.
• Lead the QC team, maximizing morale and engagement.
• Own and improve the QC training program so it’s effective and tailored to actual inspection operations.
• Document inspector capabilities, track progression, and define training goals to close skill gaps.
• Continuously expand your knowledge of inspection philosophies and technologies to keep GTC’s capabilities aligned with the industries we serve.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a technical field, or equivalent industry experience.
• 10 years in quality-related roles, preferably within manufacturing.
• Supervisory experience leading a technical function; defense-based manufacturing experience preferred.
• Demonstrated success executing quality improvement projects.

Imagine this

A regulator schedules an audit. Calibration records are up to date, inspection technologies are validated, nonconformances are documented and contained, and final production records are already queued for Quality Assurance. You greet the auditors with confidence—because your system is built to withstand scrutiny.
