Responsibilities
The Quality Engineer for our Maritime team is a critical role responsible for ensuring our autonomous surface and undersea systems are built to the most stringent standards, blending the speed and innovation of a technology company with the discipline and rigor required for national security.
You will be the authority on quality for programs that operate in the harshest environments on Earth.
This role requires a hands-on, first-principles approach to developing and enforcing quality systems that meet and exceed AS9100 and specific Naval Sea Systems Command (NavSea) standards.
You will not just be checking boxes; you will be building the quality foundation for the next generation of naval technology.
Develop, implement, and sustain a robust Quality Management System (QMS) that is compliant with AS9100 and tailored to include specific NavSea requirements for maritime hardware.
Champion quality on the manufacturing floor.
Team
The Maritime Manufacturing Technology team is responsible for rapidly developing and implementing manufacturing technologies and processes for cutting-edge defense hardware, including deployable static and moving surface, undersea and sea to air vehicles and scaling these products in our new manufacturing facilities.
