Job description

Position Summary
Blue Ops is building next-generation unmanned surface vessels (USVs) for defense and national security applications. Our products operate in mission-critical environments where reliability is not optional-and failure is unacceptable.

We are seeking a Senior Quality Systems Manager to design, implement and continually improve world-class quality systems in our Valdosta boat building operations. The Senior Quality Systems Manager will take full ownership of product quality processes from production through final delivery to the end user.
This role exists to ensure two non-negotiable outcomes:
  1. Through extreme process discipline, every vessel delivered meets or exceeds the expectations set during the sales process.
