About the Company:
We’re a precision CNC machining company serving demanding industries where quality isn’t just a department — it’s a mindset. We’re growing fast, modernizing processes, and looking for a hands-on Quality Manager who thrives on solving problems and improving systems.

About the Role:
As our Quality Manager, you’ll own the quality program from the ground up. You’ll lead a small team of inspectors (at least two direct reports), drive continuous improvement projects, and bring a creative approach to building and refining procedures that elevate the entire operation.

This is not a “sit at the desk and push paperwork” role — you’ll be on the floor, collaborating with machinists, engineers, and leadership to ensure every part leaving our facility meets or exceeds standards.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead, coach, and develop a small quality team.

• Establish, refine, and implement shop-level quality procedures.

• Oversee inspection processes, corrective actions, and internal audits.

• Collaborate across departments to identify and eliminate root causes of defects.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives (Lean, Kaizen, or your own spin on it).

• Maintain compliance with ISO or customer-specific quality requirements.

• Act as the go-to problem solver and quality advocate in the shop.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience leading a quality function in a CNC machining or precision manufacturing environment.

• Strong knowledge of inspection methods, GD&T, and quality tools (CMM, micrometers, etc.).

• Creative, outgoing personality — someone who enjoys building systems and bringing people together around improvement.

• Proven ability to train, manage, and motivate a small team.

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical or related field is preferred, but experience carries more weight than credentials.

• Must reside within 20 miles of Maple Grove, MN — no exceptions.

Why Join Us:

• Competitive pay and benefits package.

• Opportunity to leave your mark — shape how quality is done.

• A collaborative environment where ideas are heard and implemented.

• Stable company with a clear growth path and modern equipment.
