About Mach Industries

Founded in 2022, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 220 employees, we operate with startup agility and ambition.

Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security.

The Role

Build and lead a world-class quality organization that ensures every product we design, manufacture, and test performs flawlessly in mission-critical environments. This role owns quality across the full lifecycle, from incoming materials to flight readiness, and is responsible for establishing the systems, culture, and execution rigor required to scale production without sacrificing reliability.

Key Responsibilities

Lead all aspects of quality across:
- Manufacturing Quality (inspection & in-process quality)
- Receiving Inspection (supplier quality gate)
- Quality Engineering (production support, RCCA, process capability)
- Reliability Engineering (flight & test performance, failure analysis)
Establish a single, unified quality operating system across development and production

Build and manage a high-performing team of inspectors and quality leads embedded in production
Define inspection strategies (risk-based, critical feature-driven vs blanket inspection)
Drive transition from inspection-heavy to process-capable manufacturing

Own receiving inspection and supplier acceptance strategy
Define supplier qualification, audit, and performance systems
Drive supplier quality improvement through:
- SCARs
- On-site audits
- Process validation
Reduce incoming inspection burden via supplier certification and trust models

Lead root cause and corrective action (RCCA) processes across the factory
Own nonconformance management (NCR/MRB systems)
Drive statistical process control (SPC) and process capability (Cp/Cpk)
Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to:
- Eliminate variation
- Improve yields
- Scale processes to rate
Define clear quality ownership boundaries between engineering and production

Lead failure investigations from test and flight anomalies
Ensure rapid feedback loops from test design manufacturing
Define and enforce flight readiness quality criteria

Build a pragmatic, high-velocity QMS (not bureaucratic, but disciplined)
Define and implement:
- Change control systems
- Configuration management alignment with engineering
- Traceability (materials, processes, builds)
Establish clear quality gates tied to TRL/MRL and production readiness
Ensure audit readiness (internal and external, e.g., AS9100-style environments if needed)

Build a culture of:
- Accountability over blame
- Speed with rigor
- Data-driven decision making
Recruit, develop, and retain top-tier quality and reliability talent
Be a strong cross-functional partner to:
- Manufacturing
- Design Engineering
- Test & Flight Ops
- Supply Chain

Basic Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
8+ years of experience in manufacturing quality, quality engineering, or reliability engineering
5+ years leading high-performing technical teams in a production environment
Experience operating in high-reliability industries (aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, etc.)

Preferred Qualifications

Experience scaling from prototype production (NPI through rate production)
Deep experience with:
- RCCA / 8D / 5 Whys
- SPC and process capability
- Failure analysis (mechanical, electrical, or systems-level)
Familiarity with:
- AS9100 / ISO9001 frameworks (without over-reliance on bureaucracy)
- Digital quality systems / MES integration
Demonstrated ability to:
- Stand up quality organizations from scratch
- Drive measurable improvements in yield, reliability, and cost
Experience working tightly with manufacturing engineering and design teams in fast-paced environments
