  • Performance Metrics & Continuous Improvement : Lead initiatives to establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for process performance, quality, and compliance, driving a culture of ongoing process optimization.

Requirements :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, Materials Science, or related field); Master’s degree preferred.
  • 10-15 years of experience in aerospace manufacturing with a strong background in NADCAP processes such as heat treating, welding, coatings, and plating.
  • Expertise in NADCAP requirements, audit preparation, and experience managing the NADCAP accreditation process across various aerospace processes.
  • Proven ability to lead continuous improvement initiatives, resolve complex issues, and implement corrective actions in a manufacturing environment.
  • Extensive knowledge of aerospace quality standards (e.g., AS9100, ISO 9001) and industry regulations.
  • Experience in mentoring, training, and leading cross-functional teams to ensure compliance and enhance process performance.
  • Strong problem-solving, analytical, and organizational skills with a proactive approach to driving results.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to interact effectively with senior leadership, auditors, and other stakeholders.
  • Preferred Qualifications :
