Preferred Qualifications * Direct experience building and scaling large factory quality organizations undergoing rapid volume expansion, ideally involving metal additive manufacturing (3D printing) or advanced precision surface finishing. * Certified Six Sigma Black Belt or Master Black Belt with a documented history of driving large-scale continuous improvement projects in short-cycle consumer programs. ## Description As the Director, Site Quality, Consumer Technology at VulcanForms, your mission is to build and lead the Quality organization for a new, advanced manufacturing facility focused on mass-production, 3D-printed titanium components for a high-volume consumer electronics program. You will own the facility's Quality Management System (QMS) and ensures production quality, metrology, metallurgical testing, and new product qualification activities consistently meet rigorous customer and business requirements. Operating within a fast-paced Business Unit (BU) model, you will directly govern the site's execution, inspection, and lab infrastructure - rapidly scaling the organization to support maximum facility footprint and full mass-production capacity. You will partner closely with operations, manufacturing engineering, and the corporate Quality Engineering (QE) business unit to support production, drive continuous improvement, and establish scalable quality systems for long-term growth., * Build and lead the site Quality organization across a 24/7 continuous manufacturing environment, managing and mentoring a rapidly growing execution team (QC, metrology, metallurgical testing, and sustaining quality) as the facility ramps to full production capacity. * Establish, deploy, and maintain an effective and scalable site Quality Management System (QMS) that balances rigorous technical standards with high-volume production throughput. * Ensure stable production quality performance on the shop floor with a relentless focus on defect reduction, robust root cause analysis, and maximum customer satisfaction. * Lead the qualification of new products for the consumer electronics program, managing technical strategy for advanced inspection development, CMM programming, GR&R studies, and process capability analysis. * Develop and oversee robust metrology and specialized metallurgical testing capabilities tailored to evaluate the structural and cosmetic integrity of complex titanium components. * Implement and govern data-driven quality metrics, Statistical Process Control (SPC), and automated factory reporting systems to proactively monitor process performance, yield, and scrap. * Support customer audits, technical reviews, and rapid quality issue resolution; serve as a critical matrix partner to the product QE organization to seamlessly bridge the gap between product engineering and site operations. * Drive a site-wide culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence to meet aggressive commercial launch timelines. ## Related Videos - [How I built my own intelligent Robot Arm from Scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100097-how-i-built-my-own-intelligent-robot-arm-from-scratch) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [Inside the Mind of an LLM](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1617-inside-the-mind-of-an-llm) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Building your way to a serverless powered IOT Buzzwire game](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/590-building-your-way-to-a-serverless-powered-iot-buzzwire-game) - [Beyond the Numbers: Engineering Recruiting Excellence Through Quality, Data, and Team Empowerment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1491-beyond-the-numbers-engineering-recruiting-excellence-through-quality-data-and-team-empowerment) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
