We are pioneering modular motion technologies to power the next generation of innovation for Industrial, Aerospace and Defense.

If you're excited about disrupting legacy industries, and passionate about building the financial infrastructure behind cutting-edge hardware, let's chat!

We are at the forefront of innovation, crafting exclusive motion control components that propel the industrial, aerospace, and defense sectors into the future.

A couple other things:

• We offer a lot of autonomy
• We like to run lean for impact
• We have great benefits
• We are well funded, and already generating revenue
• We're currently in Torrance, CA, but will be moving into a new facility in Hawthorne, CA in the summer!

We are seeking a hands-on Quality Manager to own and mature our AS9100 Quality Management System.

This is a working role, not a director-level seat.

You will be on the floor, in the data, and in the audits.

You will own the QMS day to day, drive corrective action, manage supplier and customer quality, and prepare Salient for the certification and production-approval milestones ahead as we grow our commercial aviation and defense programs.

• Own, maintain, and continuously improve the AS9100 Quality Management System, including the quality manual, procedures, work instructions, and records.
• Plan, conduct, and close internal audits. Host and manage external audits and customer and registrar surveillance.
• Drive root cause analysis and corrective and preventive action (CAPA), and manage nonconformance and material review board (MRB) activity.
• Manage supplier quality: approval, surveillance, scorecards, source inspection, and corrective action flow-down.
• Own receiving, in-process, and final inspection processes and first article inspection (FAI) per AS9102.
