As CHAOS Industries scales production of advanced defense systems, the performance of our suppliers becomes inseparable from the performance of our products.

We are seeking a Supplier Quality Engineer to ensure our suppliers consistently meet the quality, delivery, and compliance requirements necessary to support production at scale.

Working closely with Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Quality, Engineering, Subcontracts, and Program Management, you will lead supplier qualification, onboarding, audits, corrective actions, and continuous improvement initiatives across our supplier network.

This role requires significant travel to supplier facilities to assess manufacturing capability, quality-system maturity, process controls, and operational readiness.

You will spend significant time at supplier facilities—auditing processes, driving corrective actions, and verifying readiness firsthand—to keep quality and delivery on track across a rapidly growing and increasingly complex supply base.

Lead supplier qualification and onboarding activities, including capability assessments, manufacturing readiness evaluations, process reviews, and quality-system audits.
