Join a high-impact quality engineering team driving reliability, validation, and execution excellence across next-generation autonomous systems. This role partners across engineering, test, manufacturing, and program leadership to ensure quality objectives are embedded throughout the product lifecycle.
You will lead cross-functional quality initiatives by managing validation efforts, driving issue resolution, tracking technical risk, and improving engineering execution through data-driven program management.
We are seeking a Quality Engineering Technical Program Manager (TPM) with experience leading complex hardware or aerospace quality programs, including validation planning, root cause analysis, reliability tracking, and cross-functional execution.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading cross-functional quality engineering programs spanning validation, integration, manufacturing readiness, and field reliability
- Driving issue triage, root cause investigations, corrective actions, and closure tracking for system-level failures
- Developing and managing quality plans, schedules, metrics, and risk tracking across engineering teams
- Coordinating verification and validation activities across hardware, software, manufacturing, and test organizations
- Partnering with engineering leadership to improve release readiness, defect reduction, and development processes
- Analyzing quality and reliability trends to identify systemic issues and improve product performance
Required qualifications include:
- 3+ years of experience in technical program management, quality engineering, systems engineering, or validation leadership in complex hardware or aerospace environments
- Strong understanding of root cause analysis, corrective actions, and reliability tracking
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional programs across engineering, manufacturing, and test organizations
- Experience managing technical risk, program dependencies, and execution tradeoffs in fast-paced development programs
- Strong analytical, communication, and organizational skills with the ability to drive alignment and accountability across teams
Preferred qualifications include:
- Experience supporting aerospace, defense, robotics, or autonomous systems programs
- Familiarity with AS9100, ISO 9001, or regulated engineering environments
