LOCATION: Salt Lake City area (onsite and local) Salaried position with excellent benefits package including: Employee Rewards Package including Equity 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Company paid Life and AD&D Insurance with option to purchase additional coverage Voluntary Short- and Long-Term Disability Insurance US citizenship or permanent residency is required We are seeking a Director of Quality to build and lead a lean, high-leverage quality organization across two key pillars: Quality Systems and Quality Assurance. The company operates on a clear ownership model . Quality performance is owned directly by the teams executing the work—Supply Chain owns supplier delivery, and Manufacturing owns production specifications. The quality organization is not a substitute for that ownership. Instead, you will act as the Architect of Accountability , establishing the system framework, verifying compliance, and providing the analytical rigor that holds our technical performance to standard. Responsibilities Quality Systems: Establish, document, and mature a scalable Quality Management System (QMS) aligned with ISO 9001 and critical product standards (UL 9540/9540A, UL 1973, IEC 62619, UN 38.3). Quality Assurance: Own the nonconformance and CAPA processes, applying structured root cause analysis to improve first-pass yield and drive systemic performance improvements. Data-Driven Leadership: Turn quality data into clear, actionable signals that drive decisions across cross-functional lines. Collaborative Partnership: Act as the primary quality interface for customers, suppliers, auditors, and certification bodies, coaching internal teams to own quality within their functions. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, a technical/scientific field, or equivalent experience. 8+ years of quality engineering experience within a manufacturing or hardware environment, including direct leadership responsibility. Proven track record of building or significantly maturing a QMS (ISO 9001 or comparable) and leading internal audit loops. Strong command of root cause analysis, CAPA, quality metrics, and statistical methods. Proficiency with quality data, metrics, and statistical methods; able to translate data into action. Excellent cross‑functional leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence without owning every problem. Preferred Experience Experience in energy storage, batteries, power electronics, or related regulated hardware. Familiarity with relevant safety and certification standards (UL, IEC, IEEE, NEC, UN 38.3) and working with certification bodies. Certifications such as ASQ CQE, CQA, CMQ/OE, or Six Sigma Black Belt. Experience scaling quality in a growing manufacturing operation. #J-18808-Ljbffr Spherion Utah
