• Build and maintain quality KPI dashboards using Power BI, Databricks, or equivalent tools to support Management Review
• Conduct gap analyses against AS9100, FAA Part 21, and Part 145 to identify procedural deficiencies and lead closure
• Support external audits, customer source inspections, and FAA surveillance activities
• Assist in maintaining compliance with 14 CFR Part 21 PAH requirements under §21.137

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Quality, or related technical field (equivalent experience considered)
• 2 to 5 years of experience in quality engineering or quality systems within aerospace, aviation, or electronics manufacturing

• Proficiency in root cause analysis methods (5-Why, Fishbone/Ishikawa, Is/Is Not)
• Experience with Power BI, Databricks, or similar data visualization platforms preferred
• FAA Part 21 (§21.137) production approval environment experience preferred; Part 145 familiarity a plus

• Work that directly supports aviation safety and global flight operations
• High visibility role with meaningful ownership of the QMS
• Exposure to aerospace regulatory frameworks across FAA, AS9100, and customer requirements
• Opportunity to modernize quality data infrastructure with real operational impact
• Career growth within a company with decades of aerospace credibility
